Charismatic megafauna Memes

The brutal truth about conservation priorities! Dolphins say "I'm endangered but ecologically important for seas and oceans" and get the "Awww, you're sweet" treatment with heart emojis. Meanwhile, sharks with the exact same ecological plea get "Hello, Human Resources?" because apparently having a pointy face and starring in too many horror films is a PR nightmare. Conservation bias is real, folks. Cute and charismatic species get all the funding while sharks—literal ecosystem engineers who've been keeping oceans balanced for 450 million years—get treated like aquatic villains. Next time you're donating to save the oceans, remember: that shark isn't smiling because it can't, not because it doesn't deserve your love.
