	River shark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The river sharks are members of the family Carcharhinidae, and thus share the basic characteristics of the group.
		It is also known from the Alligator River system of the Northern Territory, where it occurs with Glyphis species C. Intriguingly, Glyphis specimens from the Adelaide River, Northern Territory, that have provisionally been identified as this species display very different vertebral counts (148 total vertebrae, versus 217 in specimens from the Bizant River).
		These may be the same species as Glyphis species B. The species is presently in the process of being described by Sarah Fowler and Leonard J.V. Compagno.

	The Mysterious, Endangered River Sharks (Glyphis spp.)
		Less familiar is the Speartooth Shark (Glyphis glyphis), in which the tips of the anterior lower teeth are serrated and flare outward, arrowhead-like, before coming to a sharp point (a tooth tip type known technically as "hastate").
		The river sharks (genus Glyphis) are members of the family Carcharhinidae, and thus share the basic characteristics of the group.
		Glyphis species B is known from a single small specimen collected in "Borneo" (no further location data is given), however several small specimens collected in the Kinabatangan River of Sabah, in northern Borneo, may be the same species.

		A can be confused with the bull shark Carcharhinus leucas by non-specialists as the latter is known to occur in the same habitat and possibly occupies the known range of the former species at some stages of its lifecycle.
		The small eyes and slender teeth of Glyphis sharks suggest that they are primarily fish-eaters adapted to life in turbid river waters.
		Further research in the form of surveys of northern Australian freshwater catchments is urgently required to establish the population status of this species and to accurately determine its range.

		Darwin Project officer Mabel Manjaji and UK volunteers Rachel Cavanagh and Scott Mycock reported their delight over the find: ''The family led us to the tank of formalin which they had been keeping locked up at the back of their stilt house, insisting that they had a shark for us in there.

		Though the glyphis group of riverine sharks were profusely poached world over, and nothing was heard about them after 19th century, it's a rare discovery, said International Union for Conservation of Nature and natural Flora and Fauna (IUCN) in a notice.

		Their discovery by marine biologists came as part of a study that resulted in the recent finding of a rare freshwater shark Glyphis species B thought to be extinct for more than a hundred years.
		Scientists who found Glyphis species B, commonly known as the Borneo river shark, in the Kinabatangan river say the Sabah coastal waters was one of the international centres of shark and ray fish biodiversity.
		The 80cm-long young female Borneo river shark was caught by a fisherman near Sukau earlier this year and was handed over to scientist involved in the Elasmobranchi (comprising sharks and ray fish) Biodiversity, Conservation and Management project.
