Meet cute smol shark, reaching only 1.16m (3.8ft)!
It's the Pacific Smalltail Shark (Carcharhinus cerdale)! You can find them from the Gulf of California all the way to Peru! Very cool!

Its #YeOldeAnimals Friday! Today's a 1700s Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus)!
Body shape, fins, & location in cold climate all very accurate! Also nice claspers! Not sure what the nose dots are but they're cute! Surprised they didn't draw it with an open mouth!

It's #YeOldeAnimals Friday! Today's a 1686 Hammerhead (Sphyrna spp.)!
The eyes are more pronounced than on a live animal but that's interesting! General body shape is fairly accurate & I really like the very scared looking mouth panel. : )

It's #YeOldeAnimals Friday! Today's a 1843 Porbeagle Shark (Lamna nasus)!
This porbeagle looks awesome & the nose is quite pronounced accurate to their skeleton! The coloration is a cool addition. In real life they're often mistaken for great whites.

It's #YeOldeAnimals Friday! Today's a 1921 Shortnose Sawshark (Pristiophorus nudipinnis)!
The sawshark is extremely accurate! They even got the little sensory barbels (whiskers) off the nose which they use to find prey!

It's #YeOldeAnimals Friday! Today's a 1800s Guitarfish (Rhinobatos productus)!
Beautiful drawing! The attention to the nose & translucent patches adjacent is excellent! Also, the eyes & spiracles for breathing look great! Love it!

It's #YeOldeAnimals Friday! Today's a 1792 Sawfish (Pristis pristis)!
I like this drawing! The dots on the head are likely eyes & spiracles for breathing. Nose is good & right # fins just a more fishy morphology. LOVE the sea unicorn too! So cute!

It's #YeOldeAnimals Friday! Today's a 1792 Thornback Ray (Raja clavata)!
This is a great drawing of the underside of a thornback ray! The artist captures the features like gills, mouth, & nostrils very accurately! #FlatSharkFriday
