Information about the Caribbean Reef Shark:

The Caribbean Reef Shark is a species of “requiem” shark native to the tropical waters of the Western Atlantic Ocean from Florida to Brazil. They are larger sharks and can grow to nearly 10 feet long (3.2 meters) but more commonly it maxes out at about 6.5-8 feet (2-2.5 m.) It is considered an apex predator of their marine environment and feeds on nearly all available prey, such as fish and cephalopods. Normally shy or indifferent to the presence of divers, the Caribbean reef shark has been known to become aggressive in the presence of food and grows sufficiently large to be considered potentially dangerous. As of 2008, the International Shark Attack File lists 27 attacks attributable to this species, 4 of them unprovoked, and none fatal.

Description

Fine art illustration of a Caribbean Reef Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

Artist’s notes:

The Caribbean Reef Shark was completed on 11.21.2014. I’m putting together a collection of marine animals native to the warm, tropical waters of the Caribbean. While I had several sharks in the image library native to that region, I wanted to create a drawing of a shark of something more representational of that area of the ocean. I added the coral and smaller fish as an afterthought when the drawing was completed to give the illustration a little more depth and interest.
