Single Blacktip Shark Heading Directly at Camera

Like most sharks, Blacktip sharks have five gill slits on each side of their bodies. However, their gill slits are unusually long compared to other sharks. Blacktips are also known for their narrow, serrated, and cusped teeth, a distinguishing feature of all requiem sharks (the Carcharhinidae family).
