The Australian sharpnose shark (Rhizoprionodon taylori) is a requiem shark, belonging to the family Carcharhinidae. It is found in the tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean off Papua New Guinea and northern Australia, between latitudes 8°N and 28°S, from the surface to a depth of 110 m. It can grow up to a length around 70 cm. The Australian sharpnose shark is well known for its fast growth rate, which allows it to reach maturity at around one year of age.[1] Australian sharpnose sharks may occasionally eat snakes.[2]
