Oceanic whitetip shark
ai generated text
The oceanic whitetip shark (Carcharhinus longimanus) is a large pelagic requiem shark inhabiting tropical and warm temperate seas, characterized by its stocky body with long, white-tipped, rounded fins. It is typically solitary, but gathers in large numbers at food concentrations, feeding on bony fish and cephalopods, and giving live birth. The species is considered critically endangered due to steeply declining populations as a result of overfishing for its fins and meat. It is found worldwide between 45°N and 43°S latitude, in deep, open oceans, with a temperature greater than 18°C (64°F), and is known for its distinctive long, wing-like pectoral and dorsal fins.learn more on wikipedia
