Book Description:
|
These bizarre-looking sharks have humped backs, snaggle teeth, and a pointed snout. Rather than using an air bladder to float, sand tiger sharks rise to the surface and gulp great quantities of air that they force into their stomachs. One of the few sharks that can survive in captivity, this shark is being studied by scientists in order to learn more about these elusive giants of the ocean.
