They are gum sharks, toothless

Get some of the linked videos associated with shark week - including the daft 15 foot female tiger shark who the diver has known for some years.

Had an interesting afternoon with this one and his mates some years back. A few miles from Gansbaai, known as Shark Alley

It really is horrific what mankind is capable of - "finning" to satisfy the lunatic passion in China for shark fin soup.

One area off the US - can't remember W or E coast, has been essentially fished-out, no sharks left. That has left an ecological gap and a large squid (Humboldt???) has proliferated, taken over the niche and is causing ecological chaos.
