Triaenodon obesus

(Rüppell, 1837)


Raffaele Livornese White tip shark Nikon D90 in Hugyfot housing, Tokina 10-17@17mm, F/9, 1/80sec. Iso 200, 2 x Inon Z240

Emilio Mancuso di solito per "white tip" si intende quello che in italiano chiamiamo "pinna bianca"...ovvero il Triaenodon obesus....

Alessandro Diotallevi Hi Raffaele, This is not a white tip reef shark, but a gray reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos). Nice shot, congratulations. :-)))

Emilio Mancuso questo con ottima probabilità è uno squalo grigio...Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos
