This shark is grayish in color above, pale yellow below, and reaches 

 a length of about six feet. The body and the head are compressed and 

 the snout is elongated. The fins of this shark all have dark tips upon 

 them and so give the shark its common name. 



The black tip shark and the sand shark are somewhat confusing. 

 Fowler suggests that they may be distinguished by the position of their 

 fins. In both species the second dorsal fin is smaller than the anal fin. In 

 the black tip shark the origins of the second dorsal and anal fins are 

 opposite, while in the sand shark the anal fin arises posterior to the origin
