Information about the Sand Tiger or Gray Nurse Shark:

The Sand Tiger Shark - also called the Spotted Ragged-Tooth or Gray Nurse Shark - is a large shark that can be found inhabiting coastal waters worldwide. Despite it's appearance, the Sand Tiger shark is generally not aggressive, unless it's provoked. Although attacks do occasionally happen, they are rarely fatal. Because of its large size and relative ability to thrive in captivity, it is often seen in public aquariums. The Sand Tiger shark feeds on fish, crustaceans, smaller sharks, rays and squid. The species is considered vulnerable due to overfishing, drift nets made worse by the shark's late maturation and low breeding success.
