Gray Reef Shark Figurine

The gray reef shark is likely very similar to what most people picture when they hear the word "shark". As its name implies, it is gray in color and frequents reefs in the Indo-Pacific region. They are one of the first and only sharks that have been observed performing a "threat display" which involves hunching its back and lowering its pectoral fins to warn other animals that it may attack if cornered. Scientific Name: Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos Characteristics: This figure features the blunt, rounded snout, large eyes, and streamlined form typical of gray reef sharks. And don't worry - this hand-painted figure isn't displaying its threat behavior, so he's not going to attack the other toys on your shelf. Size and Color: Our gray reef shark figure is 6 & ¼ inches long and 1 & ½ inch tall at the tip of its dorsal fin. It's about as long as a ballpoint pen. Its coloration is gray.
