Help with shark ID?
Tail fin was long and curved similar to that of a nurse shark. Skin was pale grey, shape resembled a nurse, but with a longer, pointer nose. About 7' long. Found resting in a wreck at night. Would disappear once we got within sight, and reappear a few minutes later in the same spot, was not hunting, or otherwise concerned with what was going on near the wreck.
I honestly believed this to be a nurse, but once the excitement wore off, I realized the nose shape and color was not right. My buddy also commented that the head was not correct for a nursie.
Any thoughts???
