— [Nebrius]

Description

Nebrius species (commonly referred to as tawny nurse sharks) are typically seen along reefs and near the seafloor, where they move with a steady, unhurried rhythm. Divers may notice them tucked into crevices or cruising close to the bottom, using their strong jaws and whisker-like sensory features to explore.
