⁠The handsome profile of a young male great whit ⁠The handsome profile of a young male great white shark. You can see that huge caudal (tail) fin's distinctive shape - upper and lower lobes much closer in size to each other than most shark species, as well as the subterminal notch near the top. The shape gives the great white an advantage over other sharks in regards to acceleration and maneuverability. One interesting thing to note: the caudal fin is noticeably larger on younger sharks than older ones. This is advantageous for two reasons:⁠
1) It gives the younger ones a greater speed advantage because they mostly feed on fast-moving fish and rays, as opposed to the older, larger great whites who predate on large mammals such as elephant seals and sea lions.⁠
2) When they get older and their livers get larger and more buoyant, they need less of the hydrodynamic lift provided by the large tail fin. They can swim slower without sinking, saving their energy.⁠
(In case you want to know more about the science behind this, I've put a link in my bio to a scientific article entitled "Caudal fin allometry in the white shark Carcharodon carcharias: implications for locomotory performance and ecology".)⁠

⁠Some of you know that in addition to photograph ⁠Some of you know that in addition to photographing and drawing great white sharks, I also collect original great white shark art from artists around the world. Early last year, I commissioned a painting from artist @oley.art . I wasn't specific about the request, I just asked her to pick her favorite photo of mine and render it in her amazing style. She chose this photo. Her painting is now the centerpiece of my collection - I absolutely love it! Check out her IG page @oley.art to see the painting she masterfully created for me!⁠

I gotta say, 2020 wasn't a great year by most meas I gotta say, 2020 wasn't a great year by most measurements. But at least these Top 9 photos on my Instagram page all did pretty great! Here's hoping that 2021 will provide tons of blessings for you, as well as lots more photos for me to share with you!⁠

As this year of separation draws to a close, don't As this year of separation draws to a close, don't forget to celebrate the fact that you made it to the end - even if you're celebrating alone. We WILL make it to the other side, we WILL be together again. May your 2021 be filled with health and love and renewed vision.⁠
