In detail

The gray shark is often gregarious during the day and therefore visible in broad banks. It is more lonely during the night.

It is a curious shark, who does not hesitate to approach the divers and get away just after.

The gray shark must swim continuously to feed these gills with oxygen. He is therefore fond of the passes that allow him through the strong current to eat oxygen without effort.
