Nurse Shark

Despite the nurturing nature of its name, the nurse shark can become aggressive quickly. They weigh up to an enormous 330 pounds. Fortunately, their bite isn’t strong enough to typically result in fatality. Although, they are know to latch onto prey. Occasionally, surgical tools were needed to release victims from their grip! They rank in number four of recorded bites. Perhaps, divers are fooled by their sedentary nature into becoming too comfortable around these creatures.
