About this shark

This shark was caught in Jupiter, Florida, United States, and is the beautiful animal in the images featured.

About this adoption

This shark is female, measures a stretch total length of 342cm, and was fitted with a PIT tag; this type of tag does not transmit signals, but is scanned by researchers during a recapture, just like the tags used in pets. We’ll only get further information on this shark if we or other scientists catch it again. In exchange for this adoption donation, you will have the privilege of naming her, you will receive an adoption certificate, and if we recapture your shark, we will excitedly be in touch with an update!

General Information

Thresher sharks are uniquely beautiful sharks with a caudal fin that makes up approximately half their full body length! These sharks are a rare species for our team to encounter but whenever we do, it is a memorable experience. With their large eyes, iridescent bodies, and distinct tail, threshers are truly remarkable sharks. If the strange and unusual calls to you, then the thresher is the shark for you!

On adoption we’ll provide rough information on your shark’s location/s, however we will not be able to share exact data or location points.
