Caribbean reef shark

Alternative names: Carcharhinus Perezii

The Caribbean reef shark is found in the tropical waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Known as the "silent sea predator" the shark doesn't usually attack humans.
When threatened they start swimming in zigzag which looks like they are performing an amazing dance.
Furthermore, the Caribbean Reef shark is classed as "Near Threatened" due to overfishing and also by the degradation of the coral reef.
