The Blacktip Reef Shark is a medium-sized cartilaginous fish. It is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park 2 and Wildlife Park 3.
Description[]
The blacktip reef shark is a species of requiem shark, a family that contains a variety of tropical migratory sharks such as the Tiger Shark and similarly-named Blacktip Shark. Reaching an average length of 1.6m (5.2ft), it is identifiable by the prominent black markings on its dorsal fin and tail. It is commonly found in tropical coral reefs in the Indian and Pacific oceans and individuals will remain in one particular region for several years at a time.
Like most sharks, the blacktip reef shark is an active predator and will hunt smaller bony fish, cephalopods and crustaceans, but may also attack sea birds and smaller members of their own kind. Like many sharks, females give birth to live young, which spend the early parts of their lives in shallower waters for protection. Known to be quite skittish, the blacktip reef shark rarely ever attacks humans. Although common across most of its range and a popular aquarium exhibit due to its "stereotypically shark-like appearance", numbers are declining due to overfishing.
