  1. sand tiger

    A sand tiger, scientifically referred to as Carcharias taurus, is a species of shark often found in the coastal waters of many parts of the world. Despite its fierce appearance characterized by a bulky body, conical snout and protruding, sharp teeth, it is generally known for its rather placid nature. It's also known as the grey nurse shark or the ragged-tooth shark. Sand tigers are nocturnal, hunting at night and resting during the day, and are popular attractions in many aquariums due to their tolerance of captivity.
