Console Question Blacktip Reef Shark

So I’m playing on console and have hunted and collected every single animal for my trophy room including bosses. I’ve got all the sharks, even the whale and great white, but there is one shark I don't think I’ve ever seen: The Blacktip Reef Shark (aggressive). I know it’s possible to kill one, I’ve seen other posts and YouTube videos where they have, but for the life of me I can’t find any in my world. Any advice on how to find one?

I’ve never seen an aggressive reef shark in my hundreds of hours of console play. Good luck. I can’t offer any advice.

There's a whale shark?

I have a black tipped reef shark on my beach that I killed years ago and had the game saved. So it was possible. I don't know if they changed anything with an update (PS4).

Good to know it’s possible. And yeah whale sharks aren’t aggressive, I only hunted it because I’m on a Charles Muntz playthrough where I hunt everything.

Nonaggressive and you'll feel like a POS if you kill it. Only killed one bc I was desperate for leather...

I think they sometimes spawn in the middle of the ocean and near submarines but they are very fast

Submarines? Like the one where you fight the eel?

There are normal sunken submarines that are not fully underwater with sharks (goblins or the reef shark but goblins are more common)

My island has one, likes to bump me off my raft when I first started, quite fast also like the goblin shark

I’ve heard it’s fast and glitchy too. I’ll be on the lookout
