This is the exact jaw you will receive.
The whitetip reef shark (Triaenodon obesus) (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE OCEANIC WHITE TIP SHARK Carcharhinus longimanus) is a species of requiem shark, family Carcharhinidae, and the only member of its genus. A small shark usually not exceeding 1.6 m (5.2 ft) in length, this species is easily recognizable by its slender body and short but broad head, as well as tubular skin flaps beside the nostrils, oval eyes with vertical pupils, and white-tippeddorsal and caudal fins.
THIS IS THE EXACT JAW YOU WOULD RECEIVE. Awesome jaw! Great gift for the shark lover!
One of Heidi's favorites!
THESE SHARKS ARE NOT CAUGHT FOR THEIR JAWS. All shark jaws are obtained from the legal fishing industry in the Philippines and off the coast of India in the Indian Ocean. These sharks are caught for their hides & meat. The jaws & teeth are sold as a collectible to recycle 100% of the shark.
We do not support sport fishing, illegal taking of sharks, we don't even eat in restaurants that serve Shark Fin soup due to the cruel and wasteful nature of shark finning. We do not catch sharks ourselves.
