Great whites are way, way bigger, have solid black eyes, and any diver who valued his life wouldn't be diving out in the open around a great white.



Maybe it's just a good white and he's working his way up the ladder?

That looks like a great white shark though. And great whites are one of the species that have to stay mobile.

Nah. Great whites are wayyy bigger than that. It's probably a bull shark, they have those distinctive cat-like eyes.

I think it is!

As for the owls, videos like that come from people who are wildlife rehabbers (or volunteering with them) and they are usually raised by humans and/or are disabled, and so aren't suitable to be released back into the wildlife. These birds become "wildlife ambassadors" so that people like you and me can pet an owl in real life. Check your local zoo or conservation center to find out if you, too, can scritch an owl.

Ties (the black boar) is the most relaxed guinea pig ever, Aagje (the one in the bowl) is the most vocal and whistles loudly when I put the keys in the door after a days work. Esk, the curly texel, is a great puzzle solver

They're actually all quite chill when groomed, just don't try to clean Aagje her ears. :)


I leave you with a family portrait from when we had four (Bo, on the right was blind as a bat):

I'll try to get pictures later but I have one little girl that is a huge ball of energy and loves to be pet and held but the older male is a teddy and loathes being touched unless you trap him in a towel and force him to hang out on your lap. He's a weirdo and we think he used to be in an abusive home :(

Some animals are just like that. I had dwarf hamsters when I was about 14-15, they never accepted being handled despite a year or more of effort and would repeatedly bite anything that they didn't recognise. They were tiny little balls of speedy fluff and furious violence.

Silky sharks are pretty docile (people aren't "food shaped" so they ignore us) and the diver's in a chainmail suit just in case.

And sharks are "shark shaped", so it's really a moot point.

This silly little fellow is a Wobbegong shark. It's got a cute little frilly beard and has a name that's fun to say. Wobbegong. They chill out on the seafloor and don't bother people.


This majestic gent is a whale shark. He's huge, has pretty spots, and eats krill. They swim around calmly and don't bother people.


This is a called a chain dogfish, but its a shark too! They're small and couldn't bother people if they wanted to.

Sharks aren't all torpedo shaped death machines, and even the torpedo shaped ones don't really want to eat you. Most shark "attacks" are sharks just trying to figure out what humans are. Since the sharks only way to manipulate its environment happens to be its mouth, this generally tends to not work out well for the human. That being said, given the number of people in the ocean every day of the year and the relative rarity of shark "attacks" it should be pretty obvious that sharks aren't out to get you.

I know its not traditionally "cute," but I was obsessed with sharks as a kid and still think they're pretty rad in a lot of ways:kimchi:
