What is your favorite shark?

I love sharks, and my favorite is the Greenland shark. I also like Lemon sharks, Whitetip reef sharks, and Whale sharks.

Nurse Shark. I'm not really a shark fan but I like them enough to post.
I remembered the Nurse Shark from a long time ago and without thinking
about it too much this is my favorite shark.

The Goblin Shark...

Partly because I think they look quite funny, and have jaws a bit like the monster in the Alien movies. Also because I like the pun on the word "gobbling"!

I like hammerheads.

I like mako sharks...to eat! They are the only shark commonly available in American grocery stores. Usually they are sold under some euphemistic name like "steak fish", or simply as "mako"( with the word "shark" dropped).. Not nearly as tasty as swordfish, but kinda like swordfish.

I've always liked hammerhead sharks too!

The one that hammers.

That would be the great white shark, and, if it were still alive, the megalodon.

The whale shark, I'd like to meet one of those. They're just pretty awesome. Other then that I did get to meet a sea lion...I know it is advised not to go up and pet wildlife, but I had never seen one so close and it was just chilling so I couldn't help going up to it and petting it a little. Of course then a bunch of stupid teens came and tried to sit on it while taking pictures and s**t, at that point the sea lion got bothered and swam off into the ocean. But when I went up to it all cautiously and respectful it wasn't bothered at all.

Yes. The whale shark is as big as the extinct megalodon, and is the biggest fish extant in the world today.

But unlike the megalodon, which was like an overgrown great white that's eats big human sized game, the whale shark is a plankton eating filter feeder (like the baleen whales), and cant eat you. You could grab its fin, and hitch a ride on one, and it wouldn't be able to devour you.

Whale sharks are awesome!! This is a pic of me diving with young sharks in Indonesia back in September. The fish in the pic is about 20 feet long.

Oh, wow - I'm so jealous! My parents got to see a reef shark (white-tip, they think) while they were snorkeling in Hawai'i.

As for me, I love all sharks - sharks in general are some of my favorite animals. As I type this, I have a stuffed tiger shark in my lap, which I got from the Shedd Aquarium

Basking Shark as it is the only one I commonly encounter when sea kayaking in Scotland.

That's awesome.

Basking sharks are the second largest sharks alive today, after whale sharks. And like whale sharks (and like blue whales) they are filter feeding plankton eaters and don't chow down on humans the way a great white might.

Probably the Chimaera, also known as the ghost shark or ratfish. They live in the deep sea and they’re hauntingly beautiful.
