Yeah Nurse sharks are credited for many shark bites in the US. Mostly because people try to pet or feed them.
Another good reason to not get bit is their peculiar tooth morphology. They are well adapted to crushing and shredding inverts as well as retaining grip. The do quite a number on squids, lobsters, and squishy people flesh. Not quite as ornery as bull sharks but up there on the list.
BTW sorry for continuing to de-rail. And those ares some sweet pics. What kind of camera? Is it waterproof?
