Shark: right kids, its time for your biology lesson.

[DogeDogeriffic]

Stingray: *vibing*

Hammerhead: “We don’t do that here”

[MrGatoka]

NEMO: Mr. Ray, we’re scared!

MR. RAY: Sorry kids, field trip is cancelled. As a matter of fact, I won’t be showing up to school tomorrow.

[vanman]

Stingray: *kills Steve Irwin*

Hammerhead: “And I took that personally”

[danielpanganiban]

Stingray: gets eaten while minding it’s own business
Kids: there fighting
Stingray: I’m clearly not fighting

In the wild, Hammerheads eat stingrays. They hunt them out of the sand.

Poor thing. That’s a cownose ray, not only are they harmless, they’re actually friendly.

Kid: woww they’re fighting
Stingray: yeah I’m fighting for my fu**ing life!

[OneMeanArtist]

Shark: Tears off stingrays flipper
Kids: Excited noises
Stingray: I'm glad my death amuses you

I guess that shark is going to lose his job now.

*As soon as the stingray started bleeding, the other sharks went crazy*

[sagepeterson]

Hammerhead: * designed to eat stingrays *
Humans: * puts them together *
Humans: OMG WHY DID HE EAT THE STINGRAY :(((

[johnwanderin]

This is like putting a great white (if they could survive in captivity) and seals/sea lions in a shared enclosure.

A lot of comments are pointing out that hammerheads are natural predators of stingrays and them being kept together is why that happened, but I do want to point out that, even here, this is extremely rare. Chances are that cow nose ray had some kind of disease, and the shark took notice. Hammerheads also don’t typically go for rays that swim in the water column, they instead attack bottom-dwelling stingrays since they can easily pin them down with their heads and they can’t get away. It’s also rare considering the animal is well fed. So that ray was definitely in pain or was sick. I take this as a great example of how sharks help out their environment by promoting survival of the fittest. Incidents like these are rare, but they will happen eventually. These are large opportunistic predators that take advantage of sick and weak prey.

I love how the sea turtle is not remotely concerned about what is happening a few feet away from it

Kids at the aquarium: "I like Stingrays"

Hungry Hammerhead: "So do I" :)

[malcolmhunter]

Every aquarium husbandry staff there are probably like "shit shit shit shit shit." While the kids are like " wowwww their fighting!" 😂
