Sand sharks are viewed as the most timid and least aggressive of the shark species. Sand sharks are usually smaller in size than other sharks and move fairly slowly. These sharks are found all over the Atlantic Ocean, and are the most common type of shark.

They still grow to reach an average length of about five feet, and can weigh as much as three hundred pounds. Related Article Tags: , , , , , , , ,
