Happy shark awareness day!! 💙🦈 Sharks are not only cool but also some of the most misunderstood creatures. They are important predators that keep other animal populations in check. If they disappeared the whole ocean ecosystem would collapse They are wild animals, not monsters!

I wonder what sharks think when they see their reflection. Do they recognize themselves? Fish are much more intelligent than previously thought And I dont think the "mirror test" is accurate for all animals because each creature has different behaviors
