The sand tiger shark is a large coastal species easily recognized by its pointed snout and mouthful of narrow, pointed teeth, which are always visible. Despite their intimidating appearance, they are not aggressive toward humans unless threatened. Adult sand tiger shark’s bodies are light brown to gray above and paler below. Young sand tiger sharks have small dark spots that become less obvious as they mature.
