Definition
A genus of sharks commonly known as requiem sharks or whaler sharks, found in oceans worldwide.
Etymology
Scientific Latin name, from Greek karcharos (sharp or jagged) referring to the teeth of these sharks, indicating their predatory nature.
Kelly Says
The tiger shark and the bull shark are both Carcharhinus species—these are the sharks most likely to interact with humans, making them both dangerous and well-studied by marine biologists!
