Sharks
(slrpnk.net)
Sharks are amazing. They're also older than trees!
And older than the north star
Yeah, sharks never had to contend with humans before. We're the worst
We'll get em this time.
Imagine being such a perfect specimen that after a mass extinction and you are essentially in an evolutionary power vacuum you go "Nah homie... I'm good" and stay the same.
As a species... I think we screwed up somewhere way back.
Im starting to think trans people chose sharks as their mascot to signify their resilience :3
Good boy! Good girl! Good they! Good drag!
They may not survive us unfortunately
They pretty sure may and pretty sure will.
At other extinction events deep water dwelling creatures had good chances to survive. Also sharks don't have complex food needs, are widespread over the globe and procreate without much ado (no familie structures and such, their approach is quantity based)... They will do fine.
I hope you are right, 100 million sharks a year is a lot of sharks to lose
Aren't most of those only a few species of shark?
Trawling doesn't discriminate and the sharks are usually injured so badly that they die a slow painful death after being thrown overboard again, that's if they're not dead already.
They are likely not totally immune to the effects of climate change, however
Crocodiles: Sup
Jellyfish: What’s death?
Sharks are older!
I have been outscienced.
