Great White Shark goes viral with supernatural scar on back: “There’s no ocean without sharks and no oxygen without the ocean so by saving sharks we save the planet!”

Tiramisu.

I am now in Milan’s airport waiting to exit this glorious country having just stood in front of Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” awed. The amount of art, of tiramisu and Negroni in Italy is positively stupefying. Potentially supernatural and possibly more supernatural than the recent viral sensation of a shark with a “mysterious” bite on its back.

The image, captured by photographer Jalil Najafov, self-described shark enthusiast, conservationist and filmmaker, in Mexico said it “changed his life.”

Najafov was born in Azerbaijan, a country I once visited and impressed by its use of the color yellow and also its lack of nightlife, has been studying and documenting sharks for decades though never saw something like the above.

What could cause such a scar?

Experts immediately ruled out a mating incident wherein sharks apparently love nibble each other and worry began to spread that it was maybe supernatural.

Aliens knowing if the ocean goes, we go, or more poetically stated by Najafov, “There is no ocean without sharks, and no oxygen without the ocean. So by saving sharks, we save the planet.”

His main concern is shark finning but have you ever tasted shark fin soup?

Nowhere near as tasty as tiramisu I’d gamble.

Yum.

Back to the scar, though.

Alien?

Ben Gravy?

Hmmm.

Looks like this shark escaped the jaws of an Orca. We need some Orcas here in SoCal to thin the pinnipeds and the sharks out.

How beautiful is Botticelli’s two dimensional artistic impression of the Birth of Venus , the goddess of beauty ?
Surfing to shore , nude , riding on a shell ( st jacobs ? ) on a wave from which she was created , aided by a gentle onshore air wind from the god Zephyr and the nymph Chloris .

Looks like someone bit more than it could chew.

Thanks for highlighting the insanity from the shark advocate, certainly science free.
As for the scar on the shark this is common in some marine mammals that spend time close to the surface. In species where the hearing system is close to the surface low frequency long wavelength shipping sounds do not propagate so not detected. This means big ships sneak up on surface animals and can cause serious damage.
Basic physics.

didn’t you even know this? don’t they even have news in Europe at all? :

Tiramisu is over-rated.
