CREATURE FEATURE

BLACKTIP REEF SHARK

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Carcharhinus melanopterus

TYPE: fish

RANGE: Indian and Pacific Oceans, Hawaiian Islands, Mediterranean Sea

FOOD: fish, rays, and sometimes crab, squid, and other reef creatures

Like its name suggests, the blacktip reef shark has black tips on each of its fins. It often lives in shallow water, near coral reefs. It is sleek and agile, and sometimes hunts in groups. An athletic predator, the blacktip reef shark will leap out of the water to snag a fish from the air. Even though this shark lives in waters where people often swim and scuba dive, like most shark species, it is not a big threat when people take caution.
