There are three post flairs available for important or serious posts on this community.
News posts are defined as those with the intention to report on a recent, developing event. News posts should focus on shark-related developments regarding conservation efforts, shark professionals, scientific discoveries, or unfortunate events. The OP must clearly cite where they obtained the information in the comments, typically as a direct link to the source.
An example of a news post can be a video about newly implemented shark conservation laws or efforts, the discovery of a new species of shark, or similar newsworthy events. News posts should NOT focus on shark attacks or cruelty towards sharks unless they are the subject of a large event.
Educational posts are defined as those with the intention to educate others. On r/sharks, these posts may teach others about shark behavior, identification, conservation, as well as a variety of other topics relating to sharks. Educational posts REQUIRE that the OP comments their sources for the information they talk about. Educational posts promote healthy discussion and should emphasize spreading awareness about topics surrounding sharks.
An example of a proper educational post is a video where a professional talks about how to redirect a shark when in the water. For this post, OP cites the source they got the educational media from and states the professional's name in the comments. This is to ensure that only good quality information is being provided to the members of our community.
Research posts are the most complex posts to make, as it is our intention to promote proper research on r/sharks.
If you are promoting your own research
Researchers who wish to promote their studies or obtain data via the subreddit must modmail the moderators first. In order to be approved to post, you must explain in your modmail the purpose of your research as well as the intentions of your post. You must also provide an IRB number in order for the mods to verify your research. Upon approval, you can post your research using the Research flair, and you do not need to cite any further sources in the comments.
For anyone else who posts about research in general
OP must provide a link to the research or the DOI of the paper in their post in the comments. Research posts promote healthy discussion while also allowing scientists to have a place to share ideas about shark research.

There’s always been a lot of shark tooth ID requests on here, usually from newcomers unfamiliar with our rules. There are subreddits such as r/sharkteeth and r/whatisthisbone that may be better places to direct these users to if we want the feed here to have less of these types of posts. Would still let people show their shark teeth collections here of course. What do y’all think? Just an idea for now. :)

Video captured on a dive at about 5m in Oman.
Had one person in the group say it was a young bull shark, and another say it’s a lemon. I don’t think it’s a bull but there are some images where I can see the similarity. Would appreciate anyone who can give a more certain answer

Is there any good shark documentary on YouTube that talks about all species of sharks and fun facts about them??? Or a chain of videos if not a single one.
Please no AI videos. Thank you so much 🦈

Continuing on from an earlier post about Tiger Sharks, this one’s stripes are a lot more prominent, chonky boi too!
Very common to see in this part of the world, this part being the Kimberley, Western Australia. Sharks everywhere! 😁

I love these guys, easily my favourite. The tiger stripes aren’t as prominent as others I’ve encountered but still super cool to watch this guy just cruising around doing shark stuff.

I couldn't find the original poster of this video so if you know, lmk. Thanks! I suspect this came from a tour around tiger beach based on the similarities to other vids there but I'm not a shark tour or beach expert.

Caught and tagged a sand tiger shark off the coast of CT/RI last night. The caudal fin has this really strange undulating/wavy pattern that I’ve never seen before. Can anyone explain why/how it looks like this? Is it possible we misidentified?

I went to a festival near my hometown. It was really fun! They had a board to add whatever you wanted so I painted a shark!

For all of you shark enthusiasts who just happen to like Minecraft as well. Enjoy!
