In the fossil record section, it says that the Hybodonts first appeared around 320 million years ago (around the mid carboniferous), but in the actual article about them, it says that started appearing in the late devonian, which was millions of years before the carboniferous. So, which one is the correct one?Blue Jay (talk) 10:27, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Change "To help avoid an unprovoked attack, humans should not wear jewelry or metal that is shiny and refrain from splashing around too much" to "To help avoid an unprovoked attack, humans should refrain from wearing jewelry or metal that is shiny and avoid splashing around too much. In the case that you find yourself in the waters with a shark, there are ways to prevent an attack from happening. FloridaPanhandle.com states that you should maintain eye contact, jab the shark in the nose or eyes, don't play dead, and try to get out of the water as quickly as possible." 45.16.8.39 (talk) 20:58, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We should not name our source in the body the way that was suggested. No comments on the merits re: rest of the suggestion. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 02:46, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: Hmm. As per IAmChaos we wouldn't name the source in the article. Evaluating the request aside from that... I don't see mention of the additional tactics in the National Geographic source. A cursory glance at the website IP mentions tells me it probably isn't going to be a good source on handling a shark encounter. IP, feel free to re-open this request should you find a source explicitly supporting your desired text. Cheers! —Sirdog(talk) 09:59, 18 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to know the distribution of sharks around the world. There doesn't appear to be a map. I might of missed a comment in the text if it says "sharks are found everywhere". I think of them as warm water species, so I wonder if they are found in polar sees. If my belief is incorrect, I'd like a little more information. Additional to that, is the effect of climate change on the ranges of marine life. Humpster (talk) 20:11, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
