Description
Silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis) is a widely distributed species noted for its dependence on tuna populations, which it is often seen following. Humans rarely penetrate into its oceanic habitat, but its curious and persistent nature render it potentially dangerous--although very few unprovoked attacks have been recorded.
