Bigeye Houndshark

Habitat & Distribution

Found only in the Indian Ocean, particularly around the Red Sea, Gulf of Oman, the coast of India and the Bay of Bengal

Lives at depths of 110 to 2,200 m (360 to 7,220 ft)

Physical Distribution

Weight: 0.39 kg (0.85 lbs) on average

Length: 50 cm (19.6 in) on average

Bigeye sharks have long bodies and a pointed nose; for their size, their eyes are extremely large

Most invididuals are brown with a light underbelly

Behaviour

Bigeye sharks are bottom-dwellers, where they feed primarily on bony fishes, cephalopods, and crustaceans

They are likely prey of other, larger sharks

Like most sharks, they are solitary hunters and only seek out other individuals to mate

Key Advantages

The bigeye shark's large eyes allow it to see in extremely low-light conditions

See where they stand in the May Mammal Madness Tournament here!

🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈

Like all sharks, the Dusky Smooth-hound is an adept predator and feeds mainly on large crustaceans, including lobsters, shrimp, and crabs, although it may also prey on small fish and mollusks. However, unlike other sharks, this one doesn’t have the razor-sharp teeth that sharks are known for, rather, it is equipped with flat, blunt teeth, which it uses to crush and grind its prey.

My first oil pastel piece since middle school, I couldn't be prouder

[dreamsb0u]

making sans aus and some of my characters as sharks just bc i can

SANS AUS: Cross - Thresher/Foxtail. Look at that tail. Beautiful. I love him and I love threshers. Fight me. They're also not commonly seen and considered vulnerable. They're shy around humans and I like beating Cross to a pulp so go figure. He would use his tail as a sword also. Just saying.

Horror: Silky Shark. I don't know I just,,,,,,,, just take him. Please. Love him,,,,,

Dust: Oceanic White Tip. I don't know why I just feel like it suits him. ALSO. The white tips kinda look like dust geddit.

Nightmare: Frilled Shark. They're known for their eel like and ancient traits and living in the deeper sea which I feel like Nightmare would definitely be like. Bro wants nothing to do with those OTHER sharks (He gets roped into their shenanigans anyways)

Killer: Fuck. He'd be a Shortfin Mako for sure. They're super fast (The fastest shark and one of the fastest fish listed!) and live in the open ocean! They're endangered though which is sad :( But !! They're pretty and strong!

this image just gives off 'i know what you are' vibes

Dream: Lemon Shark. I like them you can also fight me on this one fucking do it. They're a very social type of shark and generally known for interacting with divers in friendly ways! Also they're yellow (I think)

Swap: Blue shark. Self explanatory and! They live in deep waters, are near threatened and rarely bite humans! They're very cool and I like them.

Ink: Epaulette Shark, they're colourful and live in reefs! Also that mf (/aff) WOULD evolve to walk on land. The spots? Ink fr.

Error: Bitch would be a greenland shark. They live in very deep water and have very slow metabolism, they look kinda gnarly and live for a long time (at least 250 years!!!). They often have eye parasites that make their vision shit and Error's glasses,,,,, yeah ok ill leave

MY CHARACTERS

Cur: Dogfish lol jk. Sand Tiger Shark, like most sharks- they only attack when they're bothered first (DON'T FUCKING PULL THE SHARK'S TAILS WTF....) and show protective behaviour. They have big teeth that stick out of their mouth and a big appetite but they're sadly critically endangered. They're the most widely kept large shark due to their tolerance of captivity.

Flesh: Angel shark. He's pretty, they're pretty. Next Question.

Cinder: Tiger Shark. They have a reputation for being 'trash eaters' because of the things scientists find in their stomachs. They swim wherever but are guided by warmer currents and stay closer to the equator when it's cold. They're an apex predator with their only known predator being the orca.

Extra image of a Greenland shark I found funny

Sharktober Day 3

Theme: Shark Plush

She had a nightmare

[nightmarearian]

You know what would be really funny

if Wriothesley found like. This weird ass stray dog one day. Looks really skinny, so of course he feeds it something.

When he has to unfortunately leave for the fortress it??? Somehow follows him??? Not like follows him into the elevator or through any actual plausible entrance it’s just??? There??? How???

Anyway the pup won’t leave him alone and after a while Wrio just. Accepts it. he’s always wanted a dog anyway and as much as he thinks this a terrible environment for one he can’t get it to leave/stay out. It just. Appears back in the fortress.

It seems like the lack of the sun doesn’t affect the dog much, in fact it seems to like the underworld like environment of the Fortress, so 🤷

He can’t get the pup to Sigewinne, and it doesn’t seem to like them or Neuvilette, but no where like attack them or anything; just. Leaves to somewhere. (Aka Neuvi & Sige don’t learn of the dog until like a month or a few down the line).

The prisoners notice the odd hound following their Duke, and it eventually earns the general name of the Hound of the Fortress/Meropide Hound. They’re uncreative and it gets the point across quick 🤷

At some point there’s an intense increase of fur and eventually Wrio realizes also weird growths on the dog’s neck. He can’t get the dog to any vet for the life of him, and it disappears for an entire day (of which he can’t focus for shit on anything).

Next morning/the night of, at like still-dark-outside ass o clock the dog… wolf appears in his quarters. With. Two extra heads on the side of their neck????? Around this time is when he properly adopts the pup

Point is, I’m giving Wrio a dog and said dog may or may not be Cerberus; he deserves it frfr

(the dog is an abnormal rifthound/wolf that thinks Wrio is a weird hound <3)

I like to think down the line items able to get bigger and smaller; like it’s able to get to Riftking/Wolflord size if it wants

anyway GetWrioADog2k24

as soon as i finish the creature im going to have all my 'sonas fight for my own amusement (aka make a poll)

OCtober Day 12

<< < | 🎃 | > >>

Woe, SHARK PUPPY be upon ye!! This is little Zorro (he/him), Ambrose’s loyal pet. He might misbehave sometimes, and is a hassle to keep from escaping constantly, but he still means the world to his owner.

[wornkindness]
