This bonnethead shark was born at Shark Reef Aquarium along with 9 other pups. Though sharks are commonly feared— only one attack on humans by this species has ever been recorded, and they are generally considered to be harmless. This species can be found throughout the western Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific along continental shelves, coastal areas, coral reefs, and muddy and sandy bottoms. They can reach 5 feet in length yet only can weigh up to 20 pounds. Using the small, sharp teeth in the front of their jaw for grasping their prey, and flat, molariform teeth at the back to crush the hard shells-- they feed mainly on invertebrates like crabs, shrimp, crustaceans, bivalves, octopi, and small fish. During the winter, large schools migrate to warm latitudes and then to cooler areas during summer. Threats include being eaten by humans and also processed for fishmeal, though happily they are not listed as threatened or endangered. Shark Reef Aquarium is predator based, with a focus on sharks and educating the public on the importance of predators in the oceans. They have successfully bred hundreds of sharks, including bonnethead, sandbar, black tip reef, bamboo and zebra sharks— which have also moved to other facilities supporting conservation.
