Sleek sentinel of tropical coral reefs, the reef shark patrols lagoons and drop-offs with restless grace. Usually 1.5–2.5 m long, it preys on reef fish and squid, helping keep the community healthy. Though curious, attacks are rare; main threat is overfishing.

Habitat: The Reef Shark can be found in Australia, Bahamas, Belize, Egypt, Fiji, Indonesia, Mexico, Philippines, Timor-leste, Thailand
