Safari Gray Reef Shark Toy

The gray reef shark is likely very similar to what most people picture when they hear the word shark. As its name implies, it is gray in color and frequents reefs in the Indo-Pacific region. They are one of the first and only sharks that have been observed performing a threat display, which involves hunching its back and lowering its pectoral fins to warn other animals that it may attack if cornered.


Scientific Name: Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos

Characteristics: This figure features the blunt, rounded snout, large eyes, and streamlined form typical of gray reef sharks. And dont worry - this hand-painted figure isnt displaying its threat behavior, so hes not going to attack of the other toys on your shelf.

Size and Color: Our gray reef shark figure is 6 inches long and 1 inches tall at the tip of its dorsal fin. Its about as long as a ball point pen. Its coloration is gray above, fading irregularly to white on its underside, exemplifying the white-ish flank band present in most sharks in the genus Carcharhinus.
