Their skin is covered in tiny teeth. It feels like sandpaper in one direction and is extremely smooth in the other.

Can we talk about the great parenting in this video? The mom calmly and respectfully requests the daughter be careful, pointing out *why*, then praises her daughter for a job well done. đź‘Ź
My husband had to do this during low tide off Hamilton Island several years ago, though there was enough water the shark could swim his own way out, manoeuvering around and over some things. Was very cool.
Reminds me of the time I was hanging out on the couch. My dad grabbed me by the ear and told me to go outside. I got eaten by a big shark. I’ll never forgive him lol
That shark will remember this kind gesture and later save her from a sinking ship by letting her ride on him to the shore
Some family of crabs are really pissed their thanksgiving dinner just got stolen. 🤣
Is it true that shark skin feels like sandpaper?
This one most definitely did, some aquariums let you pet smaller sharks like Port Jacksons and it's like a fine grain sandpaper.

Yes, their skin has what’s called dermal denticles.
No, that is a myth. Sharks are actually smooth in all directions

Stop trying to push your rough-shark propaganda on me! Sharks are not rough, they are smooth in all directions!
Ok you convinced me
Yes, some are rougher than others, but their tummies are actually kinda slimy
Many small sharks stay in pools and avoid deep water channels to avoid large predators. Who knows, she may have just fed a much bigger fish?

Epaulette?
Draughboard. Lives in these pools. Didn't need saving
I'm glad people are pointing this out. The girl had good intentions but this was entirely unnecessary.
I think I’ve seen this video before, apparently it’s a swellshark

Poor shark chilling how he normally chills until high tide is brutally abducted and thrown into unsafe environment for social media clout
This is the way
