Toothy Smile
Sand tiger sharks have tons of pointy teeth that stick out of their mouths—even when their mouths are closed! They might look scary, but they’re usually gentle unless bothered.
Big Swimmers
These sharks can grow up to 9 feet long and weigh around 300 pounds—as big as a motorcycle!

Peaceful Pals
Despite their fierce looks, sand tiger sharks are not aggressive and usually leave humans alone unless they’re disturbed.
