Black+Tip+Shark


 * Facts:** The Black tips are called black tip sharks, because the tip of their dorsal fin, caudal fin and the pelvic fins are black. These sharks are Coastal sharks in tropical and subtropical areas around the world. They can only reach a length of 9ft and have been known for aggressive behavior at which they jump out of water sometimes to catch pray. Overall, they are a timid shark compared to some of there predecessors


 * Behavior:** More of a mild shark, but still a carnivorous predator. What I viewed at the aquarium was it wasn't the biggest shark in the tank but it did seem to be more energetic than some of the other sharks in the tank. The shark is said to be able to make leaps out of water when its catching its prey or schools of fish. This particular type of shark can become very aggressive, deadly and dangerous if food is in reach
