Fascinating Encounter with Blacktip Reef Sharks at Shark Reef in Fiji (00017590)
(2)
Description: The Blacktip Reef Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) is a fascinating species of shark that gracefully glides past the clear turquoise waters at Shark Reef. With a maximum length of 160 cm and a grey-brown base color highlighted by distinctive black tips on all fins and a black margin on the tail fin, these sharks are a truly impressive sight. They prefer the shallow, inshore waters of tropical coral reefs in the Indian and Pacific Oceans and are often found in the tidal zone. Experience the elegance and grace of the Blacktip Reef Sharks as they majestically swim through their natural habitat.
