About Spadenose Shark
The spadenose shark is a species of requiem shark in the family Carcharhinidae. It is common in the tropical Indian and western Pacific Oceans, where it forms large schools in shallow water. A small shark reaching a length of 74 cm, the spadenose shark is named for its distinctively flattened, triangular snout.
