Had this big beauty right beside the Mischief RIB today out past Whiteness Head, Inner Moray Firth - a real treat for the passengers seeing a Basking Shark as large as this one. You can make out the head and open mouth underwater. #shark #nature #BaskingSharks #wildlife

Regionally endothermic traits in planktivorous #BaskingSharks Cetorhinus maximus: Haley Dolton et al. https://www.int-res.com/abstracts/esr/v51/p227-232/
"sharks have cruise-swimming muscles located deep inside their bodies as seen in white sharks and tunas; in most fish this red muscle is instead found toward the outside of the animals... they also have strong muscular hearts that probably help generate high blood pressures and flows."

An introduction: a Welshie, now the Scottish Highlands are my home. Wanderluster. Eternally curious.
Miss being part of the EU and wish we hadn't left.
Enraged at tories but trying not to bring that to mastodon.
Love Marmite, dislike hate.
