  • Here are three fun facts about Nurse Sharks:
    Docile Nature: Despite their fearsome appearance, Nurse Sharks are generally very docile and pose little threat to humans. They are often found resting on the sea floor during the day and are known for their sluggish movements. Nurse Sharks are typically non-aggressive unless provoked, making them popular with divers who enjoy observing them up close​​.
    Unique Feeding Habits: Nurse Sharks have a distinctive method of feeding. They use their powerful suction to draw prey into their mouths. This suction method allows them to feed on a variety of organisms, including fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. Their small, serrated teeth are perfect for crushing and grinding their food​​.
    Habitat and Longevity: Nurse Sharks are commonly found in warm, shallow waters of the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Oceans, especially around coral reefs, mangrove islands, and sand flats. They are nocturnal hunters and prefer to hide in crevices during the day. Nurse Sharks have a relatively long lifespan, often living up to 25 years in the wild​.
    These facts highlight the fascinating behavior and characteristics of Nurse Sharks, making them an intriguing subject for marine enthusiasts.

      Yes, she was just a little freaked out for a second. Those sharks are pretty harmless, but was still a bit jarring for Crystal. Cheers!
