Blacktip Reef Shark

Nombres alternativos: Carcharhinus melanopterus

The Blacktip Reef Shark is a species of shark identified by the black tips of its fin that can be found among tropical coral reefs in the Indian and Pacific oceans.
They have an interesting technique while hunting. They catapult their body out of the water and rotate themselves a couple of times in the air before falling back into the water.
There are few unprovoked attacks attributed to blacktip sharks.
The blacktip shark is classified as "Near Threatened" by IUCN.
