Grey Reef Shark

Alternative names: Bronze Whaler Shark, Short Nose Blacktail, Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos

The grey reef shrak is a medium sized species of shark that inhabits the Indo-Pacific waters.
It is very active both during the day as well as during the night time when they reach the peak of activity.
When they feel threatened, they have a specific behavior where they start swimming side to side with its back arched, head raised and the pectoral fins dropped in order to intimidate its opponent.
Even though they are curious about divers and tend to approach quite closely, they can become dangerous and tend to be aggressive.
