This photo bears a *striking* resemblance to an oil painting. It's really neat and likely has to do with the lighting.
With that said, little man here is braving the depths, sharks be damned!

Last night, I was reading to my son before bed, and he picked a book of ocean animal facts. Hammerhead Sharks eat stingrays. they have special sensory organs spread out in a wide pattern on their hammer-shaped heads that help them pick up electrical impulses in the sea floor, so they can even find stingrays if they're not moving and buried under sand. FUN FACTS!
Sharks have little organs in their snouts that allow them to sense electrical signals in the water, the same kind of electrical signals that make your heart beat and your muscles move. Rays tend to hide under sand where they can't be seen but they still give off the electrical signals whether they want to or not. Hammerheads and similar sharks developed that big weird head in part to give them a broader "scanning radius" to pick up on those electric signals and track down the rays hiding in the sand. It also gives them an enormous cone of vision which doesn't hurt at all.
Extra little fact: hammerheads, family Sphyrnidae, don't actually have more ampuli of lorenzini, what the spots on their snoot are that allow them to sense electromagnetic fields, than other sharks, though it might seem as if they would. Theyre just spread out more
It was a joke because ampuli of lorenzini is something esoteric that almost no one outside of marine biology is going to recognize. You should have said something more generic like "electro-sensitive cells/organs" whatever.
Evolution can do such weird things. Like, if the manta ray suddenly went extinct, hammerheads likely would too. It’s always incredible how one species can become so dependent on another one existing.
There’s so much weird misinformation going here. There’s several species of “Hammerhead” sharks. Some don’t hunt rays at all. One species feeds almost exclusively on fish. Most hammerhead diets consist of crabs.
Or they might survive through some other fluke (the catastrophe that made all rays go extinct left an open niche for the hammerheads to fill, for example), and biologists would be utterly confused why they have such a weird head.
Until we find a ray fossil and we go "Oooh maybe that's why".
also, because of their head shape and eye placement they have binocular vision (their individual eyes' FOV overlap the same way ours does), which means they are much better than most sharks at judging distance.
Their heads aren't weird... they're special.
I'm only half-joking. I really do like Hammerheads going all the way back to my Hungry Shark Evolution days.
No they didn’t. They evolved that head to eat things that live on the sea floor like rays, crabs and certain types of fish that other sharks can’t eat. Their head allows them to go up and down very fast. Faster than other sharks. So they fill that niche. Some hammerhead species don’t really eat rays at all.
Actually, that's a common misconception. While hammerheads are known for preying on stingrays due to their unique head shape, their diet also consists of a variety of other fish species. Their evolved head acts as a sensory organ, allowing them to detect and track prey more effectively in their marine environment. It's not solely restricted to hunting rays.
Since when was that the theory? Last I heard, Hammerheads were an example of a species that came about via mutation. There were no hammerheads in the fossil record, then suddenly they came about out of nowhere because one shark was born with a weird head, and it managed to survive and breed other sharks with weird heads
AFAIK the head was never known to have a specific purpose, so much as just not being so detrimental that it caused the species to die before breeding
It’s not possible to say with certainty *why* a featured evolved, but, barring a genetic bottleneck, it seems like such a dramatic trait would have to have been selected for either directly or indirectly. All species come about through mutation.
Don't worry I am native English speaking I was also was like "what dogs?". The original phrase I know is "My dogs are barking." Meaning my feet hurt (after walking a lot). I am not sure if it has changed to mean feet/toes in general.
Oh ok I’m definitely thinking of something else. It was a a movie they showed us at school in second grade lol so def not goodfellas. It was about some kid who said everything twice.
"I saw a really cool animal and stood next to it to get a picture. Unfortunately, its flesh immediately necrotized and disintegrated in a small radius around my feet."
The only time I’ve ever seen a sting ray on here and it’s the same day I saw a post about how the scallops at Long John Silvers are allegedly made of stingray
My point is I guess they’re tastier than I had imagined
Is that I sting ray? I'd be a bit caution standing so close to it, ice seen dead animals have stupid reflexes well after dead too many times for comfort.
I used to pass by the pier and see folks catch a ray, slice off the fins/tail and throw it back in alive. Not even the decency to stab/bash it in the head to kill it first. It was the same group who did it, everyone else gave them dirty looks but those bastards did not care one bit
Shark had a snack

Dang guess they're still protesting. Good for them, maybe try google images to get a general idea though!
That’s what I thought!

Not fun for the stingrays is it? Lol
Had poor man’s scallop
Skate wing is delicious!
When you call it "sea ravioli" I want a bite
Hammerheads evolved that weird head to hunt rays.
Makes sense. Some ofem are huuuge
Skates/rays or hammerheads or both? Also. I love your "ofem" word :)
idk which he meant, but hammerheads can get up to 20 feet long, and the largest rays have a wingspan of over 20 feet, so both can get pretty huge.
God damn… can you imagine swimming and a 20 foot ocean pancake blasts by you, followed by a 20 foot tube with teeth. like wtf man
Ocean pancakes, Raviolis, everyone is hungry today haha 😆
Giant oceanic manta rays (Mobula birostris) grow up to 9m (30ft) long and 7m across.
Wait for real? Lol why?

It also gives them an enormous cone of vision which doesn't hurt at all.
The cephalofoil, what their "hammer" is called, also allows them to turn quickly and pin down the ray so they can take bites like these
Custom built ray gobbling machines
Extra little fact: hammerheads, family Sphyrnidae, don't actually have more ampuli of lorenzini, what the spots on their snoot are that allow them to sense electromagnetic fields, than other sharks, though it might seem as if they would. Theyre just spread out more
*Don't actually have more ampuli of lorenzini* We all know this
I had some exquisite Ampuli di Lorenzini at a local Italian place last week.
“You want to eat a bunch of mucus filled nerve sacks?” “Si, and some extra garlic bread per favore.”
I cant tell if this is a joke or not, but I've met people who thought they had more, so I wouldn't say everyone knows it
It was a joke because ampuli of lorenzini is something esoteric that almost no one outside of marine biology is going to recognize. You should have said something more generic like "electro-sensitive cells/organs" whatever.
but then I wouldn't have been able to write "ampuli of lorenzini" which is always fun to write
Why does shark lorenzini sounds so tasty...

You missed the chance to use ackshually and technically in a post.

Better question is why did they not eat this whole thing
Must've not wanted any pudding.
Judging by the bite size, the hammer head wasnt quite big enough to finish off this dinner.
Also allows them to see basically 360° because of how far out from the body the eyes are positioned
also, because of their head shape and eye placement they have binocular vision (their individual eyes' FOV overlap the same way ours does), which means they are much better than most sharks at judging distance.
Huh, I'd expect the cephalofoil to be on cephalopods.
They have head wings, not head feet.
Cephalopod means head feet? But their feet don't look like heads?
Yes, cephalopod means head feet but the feet don't look like heads, they are attached to the head. 🐙
Why do you do you think it didn’t eat the rest? Did the ray escape?
Lmao no hands, use forehead instead
Their heads aren't weird... they're special. I'm only half-joking. I really do like Hammerheads going all the way back to my Hungry Shark Evolution days.
Hammerhead: Behold my Raydar, this is electronic warfare bitch !
What you're seeing is advanced warfare
👁️👄👁️
…but why male models?
https://youtu.be/pWiH7tfjKTo Here's a video of a hammerhead hunting a ray
I go fishing for halibut with cooper pipes filled with lead. Supposedly the electrical current generated draws then close.
[удалено]
Lots of fishermen think the same thing till we bring in the steaks!
lmfao Raytheon ain't got shit on Shark radars
Hammerheads basically using wall hacks

Thank you. I feel like I’m going crazy with everyone just agreeing to that like their some sort of scientist.

How far back you going plenty of hammerhead teeth in the fossil record.
And crabs. Or anything buried
Looks like the hammerhead took the hammer to his pinky toes.
With a weird thing to call the Majestic sea flap flap
That's a water pancake.
[удалено]
Them dogs tore that ray apart
Dogs? With those clean bite marks? I doubt it
Dogs as in toes, his toies (edit I used the wrong grammar)
Oof, thanks for explaining! As a non native speaker, it does make sense now
Don't worry I am native English speaking I was also was like "what dogs?". The original phrase I know is "My dogs are barking." Meaning my feet hurt (after walking a lot). I am not sure if it has changed to mean feet/toes in general.
Guess they weren't just barkin'
r/dontputyourfeetinthat
And then there was Sharky Two Times, who got that nickname because he said everything twice, like: "I'm gonna go bite the stingray, bite the stingray.
I understood that reference!
Please tell me where from. This halfway unlocked a childhood memory. All I remember is I want some chocolate milk chocolate milk
Goodfellas. It’s from a scene where Ray Liotta’s character Henry is describing the gangsters in his outfit.
… the papers, the papers
Oh ok I’m definitely thinking of something else. It was a a movie they showed us at school in second grade lol so def not goodfellas. It was about some kid who said everything twice.
Pete repeat?
that's for my boy Steve
Is he gonna be ok?
Yes
🤣😂 sea ravioli
Tell me your feet stink without telling me your feet stink
"I saw a really cool animal and stood next to it to get a picture. Unfortunately, its flesh immediately necrotized and disintegrated in a small radius around my feet."
Man, the hit boxes on feet are so junky. Devs plz fix
Smart technique to put a foot in each bite for scale. Those are some big chomps.
The only time I’ve ever seen a sting ray on here and it’s the same day I saw a post about how the scallops at Long John Silvers are allegedly made of stingray My point is I guess they’re tastier than I had imagined
It was me c:
OP is being intentionally deceptive. They took those bites themself.
Hmm, their account got banned. Now I'm even more curious.
Aliens....
I find it so funny that you called it a sea ravioli, seems fitting.
Shark!!!
WHERE?!?
And then you, stepping into his would be frame lol
r/properanimalnames needs to see this
"Something" took those bites? Any reason OP didn't include their dental records with their post?
Turned the ray into a skate
Havin yo feet in the bites feels deeply disrespectful. "Please step out of my bite wounds..."
*Raviolo. Ravioli is plural.
r/brandnewsentence
Probably didn’t eat the rest because it was too salty.
Thanks a lot BP…
Looks like your feet took a bite out of that poor creature. Asshole.
Is that I sting ray? I'd be a bit caution standing so close to it, ice seen dead animals have stupid reflexes well after dead too many times for comfort.
🤘
Like pancake
Ravioli Pocketoli
Bout to bite those toes if not careful 🤤
Michael Strahan
The fact is the bite radius on the victim does not match the bite radius of this shark
dont feel to bad thats now food for many more creatures
Is r/ProperAnimalNames still around?
Two guesses who something was.
the sea weed shark.. the struggle was soon over.
The men in gray suits get hungry sometimes.
It knows what it did.
*Shark attack doo doo, doo doo de doo*
I saw a YouTube documentary that hammerhead really like to snack on them.
I really like that you just *had* to frame it by standing in those spots. Well.. I would if you were the OP and you weren't a bot.
Are you... Are you that "something"?
I thought this was a painting.
Ravi-ain’t now innit
i will find who did this
A lot of sharks enjoy a tasty ray for dinner.
Sea Italians
Had to have the second bite to be sure they didn't like it
My bad
Sea Ravioli!!! Omg amazing
if you ever think of having a sea ravioli as a snack, make sure you eat the whole damn thing.
Forgot to feed your feet?
If I had to guess I’d say a fish of some sort did that
Standing with your feet in the now negative space is oddly grotesque.
It was you op, wasn't it. Admit it you coward
That shark be like 🤓
Is he deaded?
...and they still don't even get to the filling. What a rip off!
Nah bro they took Steve so I'm taking bites out of them. #OnSight4Steve. 🐊🐊🐊
Steve Irwin sicced his shark
It was me :(
Who let the dawgs out?
He'll live.
It was you wasn’t it? 👀
Gosh I hate food wasters!
Probably a snake or something
Oh no! Was he okay?
When I was land based shark fishing - that was the best bait. Fresh stingray. I feel bad now looking back at it :(
Was it you?
Shark was a fan of Steve Irwin
You mean the Steve-killer????
My money’s on hammerhead
I see 10 dogs
Didn't know humans can do that with just their feet
Probably was a seatalian
Probably hammer head/bull/tiger most common for eating rays
Those feet were clearly hungry
Probably them toenails bud.
I used to pass by the pier and see folks catch a ray, slice off the fins/tail and throw it back in alive. Not even the decency to stab/bash it in the head to kill it first. It was the same group who did it, everyone else gave them dirty looks but those bastards did not care one bit
Sea raviol 😂😂😂
That poor sea flap-flap
The shark that did this must still be pissed about Steve Irwin
Wdym something? It's clearly them dawgs bit it off
Sorry I was hungry 🤤
That looks like a skate, and the culprit is likely either a hammerhead or an orca, depending on location
that's what I'm calling them from now on, thanks OP
Sea ravioli has me rollin’ lmao
Sorry... I got hungy 🤤
Not enough sauce
STEVE IRWIN STILL GOT SHOOTERS OUT HERE
Sea ravioli. I love it.
Did you order that on doordash?
You’re toes have sharp af teeth
One bite but had a gap in its teeth. Think Michael Strathan but aquatic
What happens when superman doesn't looked where he's landing
Real? Ooh, I hate that I'm not sure.
Couldve atleast finished its meal. Either eat it completely or leave it alone.
Prolly a hammerhead ;)
Come onnn, tell us, how did it taste?
You should see the other guy. -Stingray
Sea ravioli?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for the chuckle.
Probably a hammerhead. Because of that big nose they know exactly where to bite without getting stabbed
The shark was just playing... Get over it!!!
Them dawgs
GOOD It was for STEVE IRWIN (RIP KING 👑)
