When I worked at an aquarium, we actually had bonnetheads in a (monitored, don't worry) touch tank. One of my favorite things to do was stand by maligned species' tanks and dispel myths, and this was a great opportunity to do that. The only time I heard of anyone getting bitten was when a handler was feeding them and had her hand cupped rather than flat, and her fingers got a little nommed. Not the shark's fault, and she was fine.

Can you do tests like we do of teeth in humans to determine their diet? Would that show if they are true grass eaters only, or sometimes they have a mixed diet of crustaceans and other things that dwell in the habitats of their sea grass environments? Also, with the female giving birth, is it possible to have traits where the shark is able to store and delay reproduction? I think I've seen something about other animals being able to do something like that, I maybe explaining it incorrectly, but it's essentially storing reproductive material for later use.. let's put it that way... Either way it's all facinating and when this video started I thought you were talking about a past existing shark not a currently living one so that's awesome! I wonder if they still have the sensor arrays on their heads like hammerheads even tho they don't hunt because if they eat grass they wouldn't need to be able to sense where living creatures are due to electrical impulses and stuff.

Thank you! Nobody ever thinks of this. We could end up pushing animals even moreso out of their territory to build our now-everyone-is-vegan-lifestyle farms PLUS compete with some animals for the same foodstuffs when before they didn't have that competition (or not so much) because humans ate more of other things. *And,* in places where land is scarce, poor quality, or buried under snow, there is no way for people to realistically (or inexpensively) support a totally-vegan lifestyle. . What we need is (1) to stop wasting food; . (2) manage our lands responsibly (ex. veggies would have more nutrients and be more satisfying if we rotated fields to let soil nutrients be replenished, instead of greedily harvesting every last penny's worth of gain, so we'd actually eat less and feel full); . (3) and mandate ethical treatment of our farm animals (stuff like force-feeding animals to create specialty foods like -- wth is it called, le foie gras or something? liver, basically -- should flat out not be allowed, it's horrifying).

What's fascinating to me about the grass eating is how well it shows the coincidences involved in evolving new traits. Hank mentioned the sharks having grinding teeth for eating shellfish. Just so happens that those are good for eating plants as well! The shellfish live around and get eaten with the seagrass meaning that sharks will already associate seagrass with food to some extent and will have a lot of opportunities for any herbivory-supporting adaptations to provide an advantage. Heck, maybe that head shape dimorphism is related to diet: that smooth front might provide better electroreception for hunting prey. Females may need more prey compared to males on order to produce pups (sorta like male cs female mosquitos.) Follow-up question: what do the bonnetheads' guts look like? I don't know if fish have the same sorts of specialized structures for herbivory that mammals do (EG: enlarged caecum). Assuming there are differences, have the bonnetheads evolved those changes yet? It'd be interesting to see how new this evolution is. TLDR: this was a very thought provoking episode, as always. Great work!

Anthropomorphism can be negative as well. Turning an animal into a demon if it remotely threatens human life/profit, etc., is no different turning him/her into a cuddle bug. Neither promotes genuine understanding of the animal or its needs and the cuddle bug approach can be harmful to both the animal and the human. When that human interaction causes human injury or death, it’s the animal who usually pays. Modern humans tend to see themselves as having an entitled right to “enjoy” wild animals that is ignorant, entitled and makes my teeth hurt. In the 50s and 60s, my father, a scientist and avid ecologist, raised me to respect, love and understand any animal in my vicinity, wild or domestic, and learn as much about them as possible. In his and my experience the most dangerous animal on the planet is human.

Would a bonnet-head shark suit still be considered a furry? (Asking for a friend...who is actually me)

Wouldn’t a shark furry technically count as a scaly because of their dermal denticles?

Its amazing how a usually-carnivorous shark actually eats some plants. And the fact you uploaded this on May 6 is cool also because that is the birthday of my friend (who is a shark lover). We honestly thought all sharks eat meat, but I guess this is an exception.
