Description
This is the nurse shark of the Caribbean seas. The nurse shark's scientific name means "curled, hinged mouth" to describe its puckered appearance. Nurse sharks are bottom-dwellers and their jaws are filled with thousands of tiny, serrated teeth. They're also an important species for shark research.
