Nurse Shark © Captain John Rothchild
The Nurse Shark is a sea creature found most common in the Atlantic and eastern
Pacific oceans. The nurse shark is nocturnal, which means it comes out at night
and sleeps in caves in shallow waters during the day. Nurse sharks travel in
packs of 40 very close together. The nurse shark typically feeds on fish, stingrays,
and molluscs. There are no species that prey on the Nurse shark. Nurse Sharks
are mainly non aggressive.
