Backtipped Shark4

Blacktip sharks don’t have a swim bladder like bony fishes so they will sink to the bottom if they stop swimming.

Backtipped Shark3

Blacktip sharks must swim constantly with their mouths open, allowing oxygen-rich water to flow over the gills or breathing structures.

When threatened, blacktip sharks form an S-Shape with their bodies and roll from side to side.

The blacktip shark can leap out of the water and spin three to four times before landing.
