Animal Of The Week (4)

Copper Shark


Fact File:
Known also as bronze whalers. They are found mostly around offshore waters alongside continental margins. Sometimes though, they move to coastal bays where they eat fish within the surf zone. This obviously brings them into contact with humans (we're not very happy to see it when they look hungry!) and attacks have been reported. There were no deaths reported, but this shark is considered to be one of the most aggressive, largest and dangerous to humans.

Length: Over 3M (10 ft)
Weight: Up to 300 kg (66olb)
Where it's located: Mostly found in warmer waters in the Indo-Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean.
