Ragged Tooth Shark

The Ragged-tooth shark AKA the Raggie. South Africa is their original home and they are plentiful, particularly in the Jeffreys Bay region where the big females come to pup! They have a mouth scattered with mighty monstrous teeth, making for an awesome take-home photograph that should be on every bucket list when travelling to South Africa. The fight for one of these sharks may not be as tedious as that of the fight for a bronzie, however, the excitement remains on par as one. The sharks use their large bodies and weight of between 80-250kg to their full advantage.

They rely heavily on camouflage attack as the slowly petrol the sea bed in search of fish, sand sharks and other small sting rays.
