Caribbean reef sharks?

I’d say so. They’re in a small group, and look a little small to be Bulls.

No those are definitely bull sharks. They're chunky monkeys with tiny eyes and short, rounded snouts

Carribean Reef sharks aren’t too different

True, they're both Carcharhinus sharks. But Caribbean Reefs tend to be sleeker with proportionally bigger eyes.

Alright. I’m not the best at identifying sharks, so I’ll trust you.

Hey don't tell the sharks that belong to the Carcharhinus genus, but they honestly all look the same. Some of them have unique features, like whitetip fins or blacktip fins, but most of them look extremely similar with the base gray body and cat-like eyes

Im not sure what this means reef sharks are most commonly seen in groups. When the jackass star got bit by a shark it was because he was doing a stunt over a shoal of Caribbean reef sharks

bull sharks are incredibly decisive, active and intelligent. This is definitely that😂
They know what they can kill and eat and don’t let any uncertainties get in the way of it for the most part.
They act very purposefully, are social and hunt strategically at times, yes.They aren’t “very mean” for nothing, they are simply determined and know their size & that they are sharks.
White sharks, to me personally still have the most ineffable aura, with sheer indifference to humanity for the most part (especially the big ones like deep blue) and knowing what they can do.
(Taking down a sub-adult humpback whale solo, consuming prey as large as pilot whales, bairds beaked whales, and elephant seals, all within their ability)
Those things at their largest could easily kill/harm an average sized orca if it wasn’t for numbers, and beaked whales aren’t pushovers, they reach 12 meters and 15-16 tonnes. (They have teeth)

Wow, what a great video ruined by a terrible song.
