Safari Ltd. Gray Reef Shark Figurine - Detailed 6.25" Plastic Model Figure - Fun Educational Sea Life Play Toy for Boys, Girls & Kids Ages 3+

THE SHARK YOU EXPECT: 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.

SAVE THE SHARKS: Gray reef sharks are social creatures and congregate in large numbers on reefs, up to 30 individuals at a time in some cases. While gray reef sharks are a common sight on reefs in their range, their numbers are declining due to many factors. They are caught for shark fin soup and are also declining due to habitat destruction.
