Fascinating blacktip shark in picturesque surroundings at Walker's Cay (00007321)
(5)
Description: The blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) can be found in tropical and subtropical seas near the coast. With an impressive size of up to 2.6 meters, it roams the ocean depths up to 30 meters. This image depicts a majestic blacktip shark gracefully gliding over a sandy seabed. Captured during the annual 'Shark Rodeo' near Walker's Cay, Abaco Islands, at the northern edge of the Bahamas, this fascinating scene showcases the beauty of these creatures. Alongside the impressive Caribbean Reef Sharks, blacktip sharks can also be spotted in this area. Due to overfishing, blacktip sharks are now considered a threatened species worldwide. Their diet consists mainly of sardines, herrings, mackerels, flat fish, and other fish.
