HEHE!!!!! The figure and shark are sculpted into one piece. I bought it on-line.
No documentation on what shark this is?
Yep!!! That's the photo.
Appreciate this info.
Not a mako, they belong to the family of Lamnid sharks. Because the upper part of the tail or caudal fin is longer than the lower, it belongs to the Carcharhinidae, the requiem sharks (the largest and most wide spread group). Makos would have a more "half moon" crescent shaped tail and a very pointy snout.
From what I can see in the picture, my best guess would be a blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus), different from a black tip reef shark, based on the large stout body, narrow pointed snout, small eyes, high first dorsal fin with long rear tip, and the black spots on all the fin tips (the dorsal fin has a small black edge on the apex). That's my guess without some more detailed pics!
