Sharkfest Part 4

 Hello viewers! We are talking about the next 2 sharks on the endangered list.

The sixth shark on the endangered list is the Sand Tiger Shark.

Why is the Sand Tiger Shark endangered?

According to AZ Animals the Sand Tiger Shark lives in tropical and subtropical climates all over the world. They live in the shallow waters of coasts. According to AZ Animals the Sharks in Australia and South Africa travel over 1,000 miles yearly. They have calves and then travel north to mate.

According to AZ Animals, the Sand Tiger Shark is mostly endangered because they have the lowest reproduction rate of any shark. Taking 2-3 years and only have 1 or 2 calves. Sand tiger sharks are critically endangered. shark nets around beaches are also leading to their decline.

    The seventh shark on the endangered list is the Pondicherry shark.

According to AZ Animals the Pondicherry sharks were once spread widely spread and regularly caught off the coast of India, but a couple years ago they were thought to be extinct and are now rarely seen. I do not know why the Pondicherry shark is endangered I cannot find anything about it.

If you find why the Pondicherry shark is endangered let me know.
