Definition
A genus of large predatory sharks, most famously including the sand tiger shark or gray nurse shark.
Etymology
Scientific Latin name derived from Greek karcharos (sharp or jagged) and potentially related to archaic terms for sharp-toothed creatures.
Kelly Says
Sand tiger sharks (Carcharias taurus) look absolutely terrifying with their protruding teeth, but they're actually gentle to humans—looks can be deceiving in the shark world!
