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

This shark is male, measures a total length of 90cm, 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 him, you will receive an adoption certificate, and if we recapture your shark, we will excitedly be in touch with an update!

General Information

Sharpnose sharks are small, reaching a maximum length of just 110cm. These mini sharks are skittish and shy around humans, but are quite social with each other. If you want to support a sometimes-overlooked animal, these super cute little sharpnose should be your choice for adoption.
