This passive shark moves very little, you will have a better chance of seeing it move on a night dive!
It has two large black spots behind his head on each side of his body.
Unlike other sharks, they have to chew their food for 5 to 10 minutes. His teeth have disappeared to leave room for a flat surface to break the prey shell.
