The oceanic whitetip shark! 🦈 This giant, a stocky shark with distinctive white-tipped fins, rules the warm temperate and tropical seas. Named for the elegant white tips on its dorsal, pectoral, and tail fins, these solitary predators are the kings of the open ocean food web. From biting into schools of bony fish to effortlessly swimming through tuna gatherings, these sharks are absolute powerhouses. Found in the Indo-Pacific, the Mediterranean, and warm latitudes across all oceans, they can reach lengths of up to 396 cm (13 ft)! However, it's not all smooth sailing for our oceanic friends. Their population is on the decline due to historical fishing pressure. Caught in large numbers as bycatch or targeted for their fins, skin, and oil, they need our help to ensure their survival. 🦈UNLEASH YOUR WiLD SIDE! www.oceans-alive.org www.lionmountain.tv @OceansAliveConservationTrust @oceansalivetrainingacademy @lionmountain.media Let's spread awareness and work towards a future where these incredible creatures can thrive in our oceans. #lionmountaintv #wildlife #endangeredspecies #marinewildlife #saveouroceans #saveourwildlife #saveourplanet #seasave #conservation #earthcapture #underwater #wildlifeonearth #natgeoyourshot #scubalovers #nature_perfection #OceanicWhitetipShark #SharkConservation #MarineLifeConservation #OceanConservation #WildlifeProtection #UnderwaterWorld #NaturePhotography #SharkAwareness #ConservationEfforts #SaveOurSharks #OceanicWhitetip #ConservationMatters
