Description
Sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus) is characterized by its ferocious look, but it has a timid and easy-going character, attacking people only when directly bothered. It can tolerate captivity, so it is the most commonly-kept large shark in public aquariums. Its meat is considered a delicacy in Japan, but this species has been listed as "critically endangered" by the IUCN.
