Animal of the Day!

Porbeagle (Lamna nasus)

(Photo by Doug Perrine)

Conservation Status- Vulnerable

Habitat- Atlantic Ocean; Indian Ocean; Pacific Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- 230 kg; 3.5 m

Diet- Squid; Fish

Cool Facts- The porbeagle is one of the thickest sharks in relation to body length. These short lads are fast despite their chunkiness. Unlike some larger species of shark, porbeagles are all about chases in the open ocean. After finding a school of fish, the porbeagle rushes the school to separate individuals and swallow them whole. These sharks migrate alongside their food sources, following the schools from coasts to deep ocean. As a result of their small size, few humans have ever been bitten by a porbeagle and no one has been killed by one. Porbeagles are generally known for their curiosity towards people. Fishing is legalized for the porbeagle, with over 100 tons of shark being commercially caught annually. In combination with rapidly decreasing fisheries, the porbeagle is on the decline.

Rating- 13/10 (There are many benefits to being a marine biologist.)

Technically a half hour late but day 3 of making terrible shark puns for shark week: a beagle porbeagle shark!

Fun fact porbeagle sharks actually are kinda named after beagles bc people used to call sharks in general “sea dogs” and porbeagles were basically named porpoise beagles in cornish! Apparently its unclear though so don’t quote me on that

Time to meet our contestants:

Both sharks this time are very close to each other, but on one side we have this guy giving you the side eye and on the other it gives you a dalmatian vibe. Their differences are small, but still pretty cool.

Porbeagle shark (Lamna nasus): one of the distinctions from this one and the Salmon shark is the white spot in the dorsal fin. As it usually lives near the poles, it's body temperature it's higher thsn the water around it. It's max size is 3,7 meters (12ft). They can charge at divers, but none of their bites have been unprovoked, it's said the charging at the divers can be curiosity or defense.

Salmon shark (Lamna ditropis): differently from the Porbeagle, the Salmon shark has more spots on its under side and also doesn't have a constant body temperature, though it can maintain the stomach temperature. The max size confirmed is 3 meters (10 ft). They dont attack humans much neither are usually fished, both for food and for sports.

Funfact: Porbeagles are the most playful out of any shark! Beetles which sharkie are you ?<3
