About this shark

This shark was caught on the east side of Andros, Bahamas, and is the beautiful animal in the images featured.

About this adoption

Tagged in 2019, this shark is female, measures a total length of 113cm, and was fitted with a PIT tag; this type of tag does not transmit signals, but is scanned by researchers during a recapture, just like the tags used in pets. We’ll only get further information on this shark if we or other scientists catch it again. In exchange for this adoption donation, you will have the privilege of naming her, you will receive an adoption certificate, and if we recapture your shark, we will excitedly be in touch with an update!

General Information

Blacknose are sensitive, shy individuals with a maximum size of just 140cm. These sharks look fairly similar to Caribbean reef sharks, however they are typically much smaller, have a somewhat pointer head and typically have the cute black smudge on their nose for which they are named! If you’re looking for a cautious, low-key shark to adopt, these beautiful little sharks are the ones for you!
