The streamlined
Silvertip Shark is one of the most beautiful of all
sharks. Silvertips are similar in appearance to Grey
Reef Sharks, having a clean tapered body and typical
shark contours, but their pectoral fins have bright
silver tips as does the trailing edge of the tail. The
Grey Reef Shark has dark pectoral tips and rear tail
edge. The Silvertip is grey with a bronzy sheen becoming
lighter as it blends into a pure white belly. The tips
of the dorsal fins are always white; confusingly this
is sometimes the case with the Grey Reef Shark, too.
