Another requiem shark, here, we have the grey reef shark. Mostly, they swim in shallow water near drop-off points of reefs. When threatened, they will hunch and move from side to side. This behavior appears when followed by divers. Thus, they attacked a number of humans. If you see this stereotypical behavior, you know the shark is warning of an imminent attack.

Yet again, the Galapagos shark is a requiem shark. Despite its name, you can find them around the world. Though, they favor water near coral reefs. The younger sharks will swim in shallow waters. Typically, the species is very aggressive towards humans. In general, they’re known to approach swimmers and are drawn in by fishing activity. Two of three recorded attacks were fatal.
