I love sharks! :) they have been my special interest for almost 5 years! I love how diverse they are. Over 500 different species with different lifestyles :) they have cool adaptions and skills: they can sense electric impulses from the muscles of living creatures and they can sense water vibrations, they're smarter than we first thought, they are older than trees and rings of Saturn and yet there is still lots of misinformation about them. Some sharks can produce or reflect light and few species eat seaweed and seagrass! Sharks live pretty much anywhere and I especially love deep sea sharks like goblin shark, frilled shark and Greenland shark :) Sharks may not take care of their babies or shark pups after they are born but before the birth shark moms make lots of work to make sure their pups are born as strong. Shark's pregnancy is often one year or more so that the pups have time to develop and some egg-laying sharks put their eggs into safe hides so that predators don't find them. Sharks give birth in areas, where pups are safe and can find lots of food while growing.
Please info dump on this post!!
I know a lot of times people autistic/neurodivergent people feel like they have to apologize for their interests and I want to help change that.
I genuinely want to hear about your interests! I want to hear the "fun facts" and the lore of really specific media. Don't shy away from including details, you can write out a whole essay and I'll read every word. Just share about something you like unapologetically!
