Common/Long-tailed Thresher

The Common Thresher shark, sometimes called the long-tailed or the fox shark, is a species of thresher shark.

Characteristics
The Common Thresher has a long tail and long pectoral fins. It looks almost exactly like the pelagic thresher except for the white band that goes over the pectoral fin, as seen on the picture.

Prey
Threshers eat all kinds of fish. Common threshers prey on various small fish and a few bigger fish. They are also known to eat mollusks.

Habitat
The common thresher lives in tropical and cooler waters in almost all oceans (except Arctic). They have been seen on the coast of numerous countries and it is assumed they live in deeper waters as well.
