Silky Shark
This beautiful 9ft long silky shark is a beauty! She gets her name from those tightly packed dermal denticles. Silkys are a decent sized shark maxing out at 10 feet long. They are native to the waters off the western Atlantic and are often mistaken for dusky sharks. This photo was taken at Adventure Aquarium in NJ as of today (7/30/13) the home to the nations largest collection of silky sharks.
