This fish swims slowly, especially because propulsion is provided by the dorsal and anal fins. The caudal is used as a rudder.
On the other hand, it is very mobile and can easily sneak into different corals or rocks.
We can hear the bull shark is very dangerous because of attacks near La Réunion island.
However, tens of them are living at 600 feet from the famous beach of Playa Del Carmen in Mexico. And there are no attacks.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
