Animal Facts:
The sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus), also known as the "spotted ragged-tooth shark," may look fierce with its sharp, protruding teeth and bulky body, but don’t be fooled—it’s actually a gentle giant! Found in temperate and subtropical oceans worldwide, this shark can gulp air to float motionlessly in the water, making it a master of stealth when hunting for fish, crustaceans, and squid.
One of its most fascinating traits is its unusual way of reproduction—baby sharks compete in the womb, with the strongest embryo eating its siblings in a dramatic survival strategy called adelphophagy (literally, "eating one’s brother"). Despite its intimidating appearance, the sand tiger shark is harmless to humans and often displayed in aquariums for its docile nature. However, it’s currently listed as critically endangered, reminding us to protect this unique and misunderstood predator. 🦈
