good morning – this surprisingly isn’t the weirder of the two animal-related hoddles this week.
Thanks to those daily email newsletters I get, I was made aware that we might finally know what a baby great white shark looks like.
Can you believe we’ve never seen a baby great white shark before ?
A wildlife photographer and a shark researcher at UC Riverside used a drone to photograph the 5-foot-long newborn shark.

Goodness, that’s a long embed. But worth it.
Here’s a nice little piece from the researcher’s instagram post:
“It’s unmistakable that this is a very young white shark. The problem is, nobody has ever seen one so young before and this could very well be the youngest ever recorded alive. “
It’s fascinating that we have never seen a baby great white shark before this. It makes me appreciate how much of the world remains unseen, unbothered by modernity.
Now, about those eels.
