Silky shark

Silky shark skin has more densely packed denticles than most other sharks, giving them a more silky-smooth appearance and texture. Photo © Matthew During.

They are highly social and often seen in large groups, in some locations (e.g. Malpelo, Colombia) forming schools of hundreds of individuals that rival the iconic scalloped hammerhead shark. Photo © Christopher Vaughan-Jones

They have a particularly good sense of hearing, which they use alongside their other senses to track down large aggregations of feeding tuna. If there’s lots of noise, there’s usually lots of fish to eat. Photo © Matthew During
