Angel Shark
The angel shark is a shark with a flat, rounded body similar to that of a manta ray or sting rage. The angel shark comes in a variety of colors and patterns, usually grey to yellow with dark colored spots, and can have yellow-tipped fins. The shark's eyes are on top of the body, but the gills are on the bottom. These sharks eat fish such as bass, sardines and mackerel. The sharks live in the Pacific Ocean and rarely travel from their territory once they have established a feeding spot.
Sand Tiger Shark
The sand tiger shark gets its name from the color of its back. The shark ranges in color from pale yellow to dark bronze, depending on the age of the shark. The top dorsal fins of the sand tiger shark appear yellow, especially when the shark is young. The sand tiger shark lives in sandy, shallow water near coastlines and in bays and tropical reefs. The sand tiger shark eats small fish and crustaceans that also live in shallow water.
Lemon Shark
The lemon shark has a yellowed, pitted appearance to its skin similar to that of a lemon, which is how the shark received its name. The shark continues to have a yellowed appearance and fins throughout its life. The sharks live in shallow to medium water depths, but typically sticks to shallower waters around bays and shorelines. The lemon shark eats smaller fish, such as bass and other smaller sharks.
Bamboo Shark
The bamboo shark received its name due to its coloring and overall appearance. Some sharks in this family have bands of black or brown surrounding the yellowed appearance of their skin, but some are yellow with little banding. Bamboo sharks eats small fish, shrimp, crustaceans and other sharks. Often called the banded catshark because of the "whiskers" around its mouth, the bamboo shark typically lives in shallow water, much like many other species of shark.
