	The Oceanic Whitetip
		While many members of the family Carcharhinidae (to which the genus Carcharhinus belongs, along with about 11 other similar-looking genera) appear very similar to each other, this stocky shark stands out, primarily because of its fins.
		As in many other carcharhinids (members of the family Carcharhinidae), the shape of the teeth in the oceanic whitetip differ in the upper and lower jaws.
		In the upper jaw, the teeth are broad, triangular and completely serrated, but the teeth in the lower jaw are much more pointed (and not so broad and triangular), and only have serrations on a small portion nearer to the tip (Compagno, 1984).

		Order Carcharhiniformes contains eight families with 259 species, known as requiem sharks, whalers, reef sharks, cat sharks, swell sharks, draughtboard sharks, hound sharks, weasel sharks, soupfin or tope sharks, leopard sharks, and hammerheads.
		The family Carcharhinidae, or requiem sharks, include many of the familiar "shark-like" sharks, such as the fltip, whitetip and silvertip sharks, tiger shark, lemon shark, blue shark, bull shark, gray reef shark, Caribbean reef shark, bronze whaler, silky shark, sandbar shark, and Galapagos shark.
		Ground sharks have five gill slits, a long mouth that reaches behind the eyes, and anal fin, two dorsal fins with no spines, a spiral or scroll valve in the intestine, and a unique semi-transparent "third eyelid" called a nictitating membrane, which comes up from beneath to protect the eye while feeding.
