Ginglymostoma cirratum
Resting by day on the bottom and actively foraging for food at night, they feed heavily on crabs, lobsters, urchins and shrimp. Barbels, the fang-like fleshy sensory appendages that protrude from their upper jaws, help locate food. These sharks are generally harmless but can be provoked into attacking. Their feeding is thought to sound like a baby nursing, hence the name “Nurse Shark.”
