Description

Fearless boy amazed by the ferocious Sand Tiger shark, who is also known as spotted raggedtooth , ground, or gray nurse shark. Originally, called sand sharks, the tiger was added to make them seem more ferocious. All sharks in this family swim slowly with their mouths open, exposing long, narrow, needle-like teeth. A fearsome sight indeed! They are large sharks with a stout, bulky, fusiform body(tapered at both ends), an upturned, short, pointed, flattened snout, and a pronounced subterminal notched caudal fin. Three rows of long needle-like front teeth protrude from their open mouth. The back teeth are molar-like. Their two dorsal fins and anal fins are similar in size. They do not have a nictitating membrane (extra eyelid) with which to protect their eyes during feeding or attacks as many other sharks do. These sharks are known to live as long as 10 years in a protected environment. There has been a report of one shark that lived to be 16 years old. Life span in the wild is unknown. Males average 7-8.5 ft in length and females 7-9.8 ft. These sharks have been known to reach a length of 10.5 ft. and a weight of 350 lbs.
