Grey Reef Shark

The Grey reef shark has a smoothed out, respectably bold body with a long, gruff nose and huge, round eyes. The upper and lower jaws each have 13 or 14 teeth (normally 14 in the upper and 13 in the lower). The upper teeth are three-sided with skewed cusps, while the base teeth have smaller, erect cusps. The tooth serrations are bigger in the upper jaw than in the lower. The primary dorsal blade is medium-sized, and there is no edge running among it and the second dorsal balance. The pectoral blades are limited and falcate (sickle-formed). The shading is dark above, some of the time with a bronze sheen, and white underneath. The whole back edge of the caudal blade has an unmistakable, wide, dark band. There are gloomy to dark tips on the pectoral, pelvic, second dorsal, and butt-centric balances. People from the western Indian Sea have a restricted, white edge at the tip of the principal dorsal blade; this characteristic is normally missing from Pacific populaces. Dim reef sharks that invest energy in shallow water at last obscure in variety, because of tanning. Most dim reef sharks are under 1.9 m (6.2 ft) long. The greatest detailed length is 2.6 m (8.5 ft) and the most extreme revealed weight is 33.7 kg (74 lb).
