An unusual shark with an unusual appearance. Today we’re featuring the Caribbean Roughshark! The Caribbean Roughshark, as the name suggests, lives in the Caribbean. Its first dorsal fin leans forward. It’s light grey or brown in colour with dark bands and blotches. The pectoral and pelvic fins are noticeably lighter in colour pattern. The Caribbean Roughshark's feeding behaviours have not been observed. But it’s expected that they feed on bottom invertebrates and small fishes. Like the other Roughsharks, very little is known about their behaviour or ecology. Want to find out more about the Roughsharks family?
