James Brady+FollowGreat White Shark Flips the ScriptScientists have been tracking a massive great white named Breton, and he’s totally messing with what we thought we knew about shark migration. Instead of sticking to the usual East Coast route, Breton’s taking wild detours way offshore—even pinging halfway to Portugal! This could mean everything we assumed about where these sharks meet up to mate is way off. You can even follow his journey live online. Who knew sharks could be such rebels? #Science #GreatWhiteShark #SharkWeek141Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowAustralia’s Giant Shark SurpriseTurns out, Australia was home to 3-ton mega-sharks way before North America or Europe even got in the game! Fossils found near Darwin just rewrote the origin story for gigantic lamniform sharks, pushing their timeline back to 115 million years ago. Imagine a predator as big as a bus lurking in ancient Aussie waters—makes today’s great whites look like guppies. Who else is picturing a prehistoric shark vs. sea monster showdown? #Science #SharkWeek #FossilFinds491Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowMeet the OG Mega-Shark Before Megalodon!Turns out, the megalodon wasn’t the first ocean boss! Scientists just ID’d a massive shark that ruled the seas 15 million years before the megalodon even showed up. This ancient predator, found near Darwin, Australia, was about 26 feet long and looked a lot like today’s great whites. The wildest part? Its fossil was hiding in a museum for decades before anyone realized how epic it was. Evolution really doesn’t mess around! #Science #SharkWeek #Paleontology00Share
