This shark is also called coral shark. It should not be confused with the oceanic whitetip shark which is larger and more predatory.
This shark is a passive shark that does not need to swim to breathe, it is often found lying on the bottom.
This shark has about 3000 teeth, which is renewed every 3 days!
The kakihona sushi (sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves) are really the best!
To eat them, you have to go to Nara!
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!
