Whether you love The Meg, hate The Meg, or anything in between, there’s one moment that’s so hilariously amazing, we just had to call it out.

Though they are complete tonal opposites, The Meg feels like an unlikely and very unconventional love letter to Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. It’s as if the film’s writers sat down to watch that 1975 masterpiece and just kept asking “What if?” What if the shark really ate people off the beach? What if the heroes could…

More than 500 different shark species roam Earth’s oceans: from zippy little cookie-cutter sharks, to the iconic great white, to nightmarish goblin sharks, to 25-foot-long, filter-feeding basking sharks. And it seems that the current equilibrium of shark species we see today arose after the Cretaceous–Paleogene mass…

When you first step inside the New York Aquarium’s new shark exhibit, Ocean Wonders: Sharks!, the only thing separating you from the toothy predators is about six inches of acrylic. The exhibit walls arch overhead, fully immersing you in an underwater world of zebra sharks and black-tipped reef sharks gliding amongst…

A set of new shark-themed stamps including species of global conservation concern could make your next trip to a post office somewhat exciting—if you live in Canada, that is.

Say hello to Squalus clarkae, otherwise known as Genie’s dogfish. This newly identified species of deepwater shark was named in honor of Eugenie Clark, a scientific pioneer who influenced an entire generation of marine biologists.

In retrospect, it makes all the sense in the world that Aquaman would be right at home riding on the hood of the Batmobile.

Remember Bruce, the friendly vegetarian great white from Finding Nemo who lives by the “Fish are friends, not food” motto? The great white shark you see pictured above is pretty much the antithesis of him.

Animals fatally maul, sting, trample, and chew about a million humans per year. Pretty nice of them, given the numbers on our side—the average of 750 million chickens we kill in the U.S. every month, for instance. In an ideal world, no one would ever get mauled by a bear, or contract rabies from a feral squirrel. But…

Climate change is creating a battle of survival of the fittest. And it appears bull sharks are winning.

The first trailer for The Meg, Jason Statham’s awesomely silly-looking summer action movie about the sudden appearance of a modern-day megalodon, has just arrived—and at long last, it looks like we have a worthy, stupendously toothy successor to 1999's Deep Blue Sea.

Shortfin mako sharks may be the fastest-swimming shark in the ocean, with top speeds of over 45 miles per hour. Unfortunately, with a 15-18 month gestation period, these sharks aren’t anywhere near as quick when it comes to reproducing. Mako sharks are also some of the best tasting sharks on the planet. This…

In today’s increasingly globalized and interconnected world, introductions of non-native species to new environments are common. But even by modern standards, scientists are now reporting something truly bizarre: three whitetip reef sharks native to the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and other parts of the Indo-Pacific…

If you’ve ever taken the long way home to avoid a path that seems unsafe, you can sympathize with unicornfish in Fiji’s Votua marine reserve. A new study has shown that herbivorous reef fishes alter their foraging behavior to avoid running into sharks. In other words, even though sharks don’t eat seaweed, they help…

In recent decades, many shark populations have been decimated by overfishing. Often this is the result of those looking to make a buck off the gruesome process of shark finning—which involves bringing a shark on board a boat, slicing off its fins, and tossing it back into the sea and to certain death. But according to…

A South African shark-watching hotspot has recently turned into the scene of a seaside horror movie. For several months, enormous great white shark corpses have been washing up on the Gansbaai beaches, often missing their livers as if feasted upon by cetacean Hannibal Lecters. But this is no movie—it’s just biology,…
