Shark pictures - CSI Style!

Click! Zoom! Click! Here is another picture of a shark in action. It does not matter if it is taking during a shark watch tour, a surfing incident or a shark attack, pictures, even fuzzy ones can help identify the shark species involved. I call these pictures, shark picturesCSI style!

You see, even on shark pictures that are unclear, a bit too dark or too light, there are always clues that can be observed and used to inform people for safety reasons that certain shark specie is roaming in the coastal waters rimming the beach. On ecotourism tours, these specific clues can help you identify the shark specie as the speed of the action prevented you to have a clear image of this apex predator in action.

Depending on the clues provided by the shark pictures, you can identify the size, the shark specie, the approximate weight and even its intentions. What types of clues can you find on the shark pictures?

Well, the shape of shark teeth will differentiate the shark species. An example would be that large triangular-shaped teeth more than likely belong to a great white shark compared to hook-shaped teeth, which would be the ones owned by a tiger shark. The profile or the size of a dorsal fin would help to estimate the size of the right type of shark.

The color and the type of fins would also help in identifying the shark species included in the pictures. It behavior would also help identify the shark specie in the picture. You see, breaching is one of the peculiar behaviors of a great white shark. The angle of the attack would also help in finding out the type of shark attack.

Even things such as the shape of the snout, the eyes, the print on their skin or even some specific details such as barbells can help provide some useful information contained on shark picturesCSI style! Now, let the evidence put you on the right track!
