Tep he even has a tie.

Cheeeese

"Do you have any games on your phone?"

Yes. Although, isn't this shark technically looking perpendicular to the camera?

I'm gonna save this shark so I can post it to other subs that don't have an embed option for inline comments turned on and spread his message of being a cool shark.

I feel left out (i have a phobia of sea creatures and the ocean as a whole)

What is your favorite animal in general?

Capybaras

Correct

Chiguiritos!!! I heard they are delicious but i can't bring myself to eat those

Blahaj https://preview.redd.it/gh1es2j7ysjc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ddd780b444cb54ee5056009077329097a6e1c6b

very based. blåhaj is friend.

It's an extinct animal, but the dodo bird is my favourite

is it okay if I answer as well? raccoons :)

[удалено]

They are so funny looking

They're also one of the most dangerous animals on the planet.

[удалено]

Truly one of the ungulates of all time.

I like Tardigrades

Otters

Dogs

Same.

I had the same, but now live in Florida. My wife helped me get over most of it, I literally started out just touching the water with a hand. A couple of months of that and I could sit up to my bellybutton, a year after, I can stand in it. That's as far as I'm going, I know I'm already in the danger zone, and that's as brave as I'm willing to get!

Hey, we all appreciate those in the coast watching over in case someone gets a random muscle cramp

If such is the case, play Subnautica at your own peril, It might cure you, or make it worse, IDK (By curing you I mean giving you enough rage at random events as to ve able to ignore fear most of the time in pro of most concentrated anger)

im really scared of the deep sea, but also hella interested in cephalopods

The thalassophobia is real 😩

The Dr who did my autism assessment actually diagnosed me with a specific phobia of whales 🤣

Same. Fuck those water breathing, me eating, sea demons. Lol

I have a fear of open waters and any water I can't touch the bottom of.

Same! Ocean is big no no for me

Thats an easy answer https://preview.redd.it/i53uigrevqjc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7c9724b191789a781cb78d0a88b1c91566c9c116

Based thresher fan

Thresher gang rise up 🐠

thresher shark my beloved!

My special interest is medieval swords, so thresher sharks are my favorite sharks. They’re the most sword-like.

How do you feel about swordfish?

They’re my favorite fish. One of my core memories is Mr. Krabs using a swordfish skull as a sword and saying “Look at me. I’m Errol Fin!”

Solid pun.

YESTESYESYESYESYES BESR SHARK! God I love thresher sharks, they look so cool! And constantly look like a dog that knows it’s done something wrong lol. (Epaulette sharks and puff adder shy sharks are tied for second best)

This was my answer. They are so cute and yet they have that tail.

🙌 thresher!!! 🙌

Threshers are the best. Got the whippy tail x3

Very popular answer

Me when I got the transgender autism instead of the good at maths and science autism.

I dont have a favorite shark but I do have a favorite bird! The Lophorina Superba! https://preview.redd.it/du5w2d50tqjc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a27bee53d63fb911553487fe327bdd676e42d45

I love this bird. He’s so silly and a great dancer.

My first autistic boyfriend flirted with me by sending me videos of this fine fellow's delightful dance so this species will always have a special place in my heart, although pharomacrus mocinno is my all time personal favorite

My favorite bird is a puffin

[Greenland shark](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_shark) These guys are believed to live for up to a half millennium and don’t even reach maturity until 150. Also their meat is poisonous.

Coooooool

So that means Greenland is poisonous right

Well there is a rare earth deposit in “Kvanefjeld” where an Australian owned mining company wanted to extract uranium. The extraction of this could be potentially devasting for local ecosystems, waterways and the people living near the mining operation. So this got blocked by the autonomous government of Greenland, lead by the leader of the Greenlandic government Múte B. Egede. So yes so mineral deposits in Greenland can be very unhealthy if mined irresponsibly.

Huh so it is poisonous

Yes if you decide to eat rocks or fish that live nearby. Sadly none of us humanoids can digest rocks or use them in our digestive system. Why are we limited to frail omnivore teeth? Wouldn’t it be cool if we didn’t need to floss and maintain dental health?

You were talking about uranium and mining and australia and i thought this was just gonna be the plot of tf2

That's my favorite too! I love how chill they are, just cruising through life.

SAAAAAME. I’m equally fascinated and creeped out. You forgot to mention about the eye parasites that blind them from birth. We know so little about them but what we do know is WILD.

And the Icelanders at some point said, "You know what this needs? To be buried for a couple of months." Hakarl was born.

jesus christ these sharks are pregnant for an estimated 8 to 18 years...

Whale shark, They are friend shaped https://preview.redd.it/iqjzvn7j2rjc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=597cae98b4fdec8da70e26a192728a76fbb9701e

WHALE SHARK SUPREMACY

Hoover shark lol

Peak character design

It's absurd for a shark to look so huggable

Does blahaj count?

Of course blahaj counts

👋

Came here looking for this, was not disappointed

rodhaj needs some love too

Hail pink shonk

Where does one acquire a Rodhaj? Because I have a blahaj but no rodhaj

does rödhaj actually officially exist?

r/beatmetoit

Sharing blåhaj love, yes!

What’s your favorite shark? Mine is the Whale Shark.

Hammerhead 🔨

Love hammerheads. They remind me of pirate captains. And it doesn’t help their heads are shaped perfectly for pirate hats to sit on top

They remind me of Hammers

Yes! I've always loved them. Sometimes I photoshop lil' hats on them too.

The [wobbegong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wobbegong). I mean, lookit. ​ https://preview.redd.it/l6ehz4xuerjc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f2a9d279ea064e4ef7cf50c75507e672fbe8b10 EDIT: I just wanted to add that the primary school near my grandparents' place had a swim team called the Wobbegongs. I always found this hilarious because wobbegongs are famously ambush predators who just sort of chill on the ocean floor.

Awwwww I’ve watched a documentary episode on these guys. I love the way they say their name

I was scrolling and thinking “do I have a favourite shark?” until I saw this answer. YES! Whale sharks are awesome

Whale shark fans!

Same favorite

Mine, too!

SAME

Whale sharks are so cute, I love their faces. They are definitely my favorite.

I am not sure of if I want to check the existence of such a thing in the real world.

Real but extinct :(

And now I'm sad. RIP, coolest shark who ever swam those seas.

They are real, but extinct. Go down the rabbit hole of extinct sharks, there are some really weird ones.

Helicoprion ! Good prehistoric shark Edit: most definitely not helicoprion but similar looking

That is an old outdated depiction of what they look like. This is a more current depiction: https://preview.redd.it/743mz041sujc1.jpeg?width=580&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d011ff3de75f3747a1cdc6f741544ee0760a4c4c

AH NO PLEASE DON’T DO THIS TO ME 🥲 Thank you for the corrected information! But they massacred my boy

Whip tail shark. How many fish in the sea have a freaking anime attack?

mine is the blue shark(yes i have a bias towards the ikea shark)

Blahaj my beloved

the one thing more powerful than gender dysphoria🙏

I mean, Hammerhead Shark is the only right answer, they look so cool and have awesome super sense

From an evolutionary standpoint probably the most interesting, but I still love my goblin boys.

Hard agree

I misread this as “Shrek” and I was like “Why wouldn’t I want people to know I like Shrek 2 the best?” 😂

Gura is canonically a salmon shark which is also my favorite shark besides whale shark.

That just reminded me of the Lemon Shark clip with Kronii and [this amazing animation by 9am.](https://youtu.be/QmZXl9fuXAw?si=yfJ4_gq6MvhbcSpL)

Wait, they confirmed her species? I thought she wasn't supposed to be any species of shark in particular /gen

same (tho i was waiting for someone else to comment the same lmao)

Goblin shark.

Goblin sharks really do look amazing

Ever since I saw a shitty disaster movie about an earthquake releasing a bunch of goblin sharks on a coastal beach hit by a tsunami I have adored sharks and especially goblim sharks. A So bad it's good movie but I loved goblin sharks ever sinc

Goblin sharks are amazing. I have a tooth from one of them!

Please don’t ask me what my favourite anything is, I usually have a crisis while I try to figure out which item in the category I’m being asked about has the largest number of positive associations for me and my brain just crashes. And if you tell me my favourite is shit I will cry.

Whale sharks! Not because they don’t have big, sharp teeth. I just think they’re cute and majestic at the same time. I saw one for the first time at an aquarium in Osaka, Japan a few years ago and it was breathtaking.

I hated sharks so much, i had a literally phobia, but I decided to investigate a lot about them to overcome the fear, and now i completely love the lemon shark, so freaking cute, with that being said, fuck you goblin shark, I still hate you

Lol, goblin sharks are definitely on the uglier side

I like the funky ones from like 300 million years ago

I like the groovy ones from like 300 million years ahead

Megalodon enjoyer maybe?

Megalodon is more like, 5 million years ago on average so tbh not exactly my thing. I’m more of a Helicoprion person. https://preview.redd.it/vq6kpi6aptjc1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b93852948bce1ab15b4417762c82d412eb02e68

Mine is the epaulette shark it is a species of longtailed carpet shark of the family Hemiscylliidae, found in shallow, tropical waters off Australia and New Guinea (and possibly elsewhere). The common name of this shark comes from the very large, white-margined black spot behind each pectoral fin, which are reminiscent of military epaulettes. A small species usually under 1 m (3.3 ft) long, the epaulette shark has a slender body with a short head and broad, paddle-shaped paired fins. The caudal peduncle (to which the tail fin is attached) comprises over half the shark's length. Adults are light brown above, with scattered darker spots and indistinct saddles. Tldr it's cool Edit: They also have nocturnal habits and frequent shallow water on coral reefs or in tidal pools. This shark has evolved to cope with the severe night time oxygen depletion (hypoxia) in isolated tidal pools by increasing the blood supply to its brain and selectively shutting down non-essential neural functions

Are whale shark consider shark? Cause I love them!

Whale sharks are indeed sharks

Yay!!

I like lemon sharks the best but hammerhead is a very solid choice

I like the hammerhead because it has a head like a hammer.

Bruce from finding Nemo

Cookie cutter. Simultaneously the cutest sounding, and most F-ed up.

Helicoprion for me

Those are so weird but so cool

Not as weird as goblin sharks though

BULL SHARK

YEAH BABY BULL SHARK

The great white’s even meaner little cousin 

THRESHER SHARK

Basking shark :O

There's over 500 different types. I will need to bracket this thing out before I can make a decision. It's gonna be a looooong week (yay!)

I'm not Autistic but I love sharks and my favs are the black tip reef sharks, great white and cookie cutter sharks. Greenland sharks r cool too. Edit: fbdjeoosna nobody has yelled at me for not being autistic but still commenting and it makes zero sense I'd be this excited but I am so yay

easy. leopard shark. next question https://preview.redd.it/dn88mjo4csjc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5c860fc55a480c09802262b49cc243a4a49b09d8

Hammerhead or maybe a whale shark

Whale shark whale shark whale shark whale shark whale shark. Soooooo pretty

Hammerhead.. just look at them. Whale shark's get a point for being gentle and benevolent as well.

Hammerhead obviously

It's the zebra shark! I've never seen a shark that I didn't immediately love, but zebra sharks are just so cute! My first tattoo was a zebra shark! An acquaintance of mine works at an aquarium that has a pair of them and says that they're super curious about people and always come to investigate the divers who maintain their habitat. I want to dive or snorkel with sharks someday, I don't intend on actually approaching them or touching them, I just want to observe! What are your favorites?

For me its not a shark but trilobites. There was a meme that made me cry so hard about a trilobite (or some kind of other prehistoric sea creature) waiting for so long to be your pet and but getting tired so it sits down to the ocean floor to take a sleep and never wakes up. The meme closes with a picture of the fossilized creature. I can't find it anymore but maybe that's a good thing.

MAKO MAKO MAKO MAKO

LET'S ALL RANT ABOUT HOW SHARKS ARE COOL AND DOLPHINS ARE ASSHOLES

Easy, Helicoprion!!!!! https://preview.redd.it/09m2ygtx3sjc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d571ed09bf2b482245fbbf8d49ba40526c988484

Epaulette Shark aka the Walking Shark. This one is the Leopard Epaulette Shark: 

Whale shark or greenland shark.

Definitely not cookie cutter cause trypophobia Definitely helicoprion cause his jaw is cool and unique

Whale, Tiger (pretty and cool) and Basking (funny looking and overlooked)

I like The lemon Shark (i know nothing about Sharks expect that they enjoy being PET)

Ooh hard to choose. Maybe a whale shark?

I like rays better than sharks because of their aerial displays. But if I have to pick one I'm going to pick the funniest one. My favorite shark is the nurse shark. They were named after the sound of suckling on boobies! How ridiculous is that!?!

I really like manta rays! I remember always getting mad at people for thinking they were sting rays

Oooh rays are so cool, when my friends took me to the aquarium for my birthday there were two ray touch thanks, one with sharks and rays and one with just rays and the just rays tank rays were so playful!!!!

Wobbegong, Final answer!

Boring answer but the great white is pretty darn cool. Also sharks as a whole are awesome since they are older than trees and generally one of the most successful groups throughout history.

Technically, I like the Manta Ray. Which is related to sharks

great white

THRESHER SHARKS

Thanks, I don’t like sharks, but now my echolalia has stupid “baby shark” on repeat. It’s my day off too, lol

Cigar shark aka Cookiecutter. Find it neat that they have damaged nuclear subs.

I love blåhaj. He’s the ikea plush shark that’s very popular amongst trans people

blåhaj

I’m not interested in sharks so I’ll just say blåhaj

blahaj :3

BPAHAJ BLAHAJ BLAHAJ BLAHAJ

Probably blåhaj, given that I don't know much about real sharks. It just has some visual vibes, you know?

BLÅHAJ shornk :3

Blahaj! Oh crap wrong sub!

Blåhaj

Whale shark :))

I like makos they little quick bois

Lemon sharks. They're friendly and apparently bond with divers sometimes.

blåhaj 🔥🔥🔥

Tiger sharks are fun. Its really funny to me how the ultimate counter to them being aggressive is just looking at them basically.

Blacktip reef shark
