I hate Justin McElroy for validating my lifelong fear of invisible ocean creatures in my pool with the ‘glass shark’ bit, because now every time I am in ANY body of water I have to act like I’m not afraid of Glass Shark so it can’t smell my very real fear
Don’t worry @wizard-legs all the glass sharks I have met are lithovores meaning they eat minerals and other inorganic creatures like crystal crabs. Think about it, they’re silicon based lifeforms and you’re presumably carbon based, therefore you likely hold as much nutritional value to them as a pile of sand does to you.
@fluffylandshark this is the most comforting response to this post by a LAND slide- I think you’ve cured me??? I’m going to be reminding myself that glass shark really does think I’m a friend (or a pile of sand) not food, for the rest of my life
Baby shark alert!! 🦈😍 We're ecstatic to share that we have successfully bred the rare endangered Blackchin Guitarfish and have 6 happy and healthy babies! 🥳 They are currently in a dedicated nursery and will soon move into our Behind the Scenes area. How cute are they?! 🦈😍 https://t.co/mhpdTU34OA
Some endangered baby sharks were born at the Birmingham Sea Life Center, a place I really love despite having been there only once and also having a massive fear of sea life in general.
When all this is over (sigh) I’d quite like to go back. The Sea Life Centers also provided me with my favourite recent example of passive-aggressive family-friendly Trump-slagging.
