One of the most intriguing aspects of the sand tiger shark’s behavior is its hunting strategy. Unlike many of its shark relatives, the sand tiger is a relatively slow swimmer, often seen hovering near the ocean floor. This is facilitated by their ability to gulp air and store it in their stomachs, allowing them to achieve near-neutral buoyancy. They are known for their stealth and patience, often waiting for the perfect moment to strike with their sharp, protruding teeth.
