Grey nurse shark


The grey nurse (Australia), spotted ragged-tooth (Africa) or sand tiger (US and UK), Carcharias taurus, is a large shark inhabiting coastal waters worldwide, with many different names in different countries in the world. Despite a fearsome appearance and strong swimming abilities, it is a relatively placid and slow moving animal. It is considered not aggressive unless provoked.[1]
