In this article, we'll delve into the four zodiac signs commonly considered the "meanest," exploring the characteristics that contribute to this perception and how these traits manifest in their interactions with others. To lighten the mood, we'll include some funny quotes about each sign's mean streak.

Thousands of schloofing sharks were spotted in an underwater sleepover party off the coast of Australia. The shiver consisted of Port Jackson sharks, a species that inhabits Australia’s southern coastal waters. The sharks are known for their somewhat bizarre appearance, with two prominent ridges running from their blunt noses to the backs of their heads. The sharks, which can grow up to 5.5 feet (1.6 meters) in length, are nocturnal and spend their nights hunting for squid, octopuses, and crustaceans. Unlike many other shark species, Port Jackson sharks are not considered a threatened or endangered species.

The vaquita, also known as the Phocoena sinus, is a small porpoise that is native to the northern area of the Gulf of California. This divine sea creature can grow to be approximately five feet long and, when fully grown, weighs around 120 pounds. The animal has been on the endangered list for several years now, but concerns about its survival are growing. There were 600 vaquitas in 1997. The population dwindled to 30 in 2017, and today, there are thought to be only about 10 left. Environmentalists believe fishermen’s use of gill nets is the reason behind the vaquita's increasing endangerment, Kingdoms TV reports.
