Sharks
Visitors to the Great Barrier Reef have even been known to spot sharks (superorder Selachimorpha). The most common are the white-tip and black-tip reef sharks. Most sharks found at the reef pose no threat to visitors, due to the fact that they eat only fish. However, they may attack if given sufficient provocation.

We went to Eddy Reef last week and had the pleasure of snorkling with a baby white tipped shark and a baby turtle. It was like a marine nursery. It occurred to me how different thier personalities were. The shark trying to hide and quite timid with humans in his domain, the turtle on the otherhand seemed to have no fear and just curised along with us as if showing us the way of the ocean. Awesome experience.
