Port Jackson sharks do not grow to be as large as great white sharks. A male Port Jackson shark could grow to be 75 cm long while females are between 80 and 95 cm long.

Port Jackson Sharks can be found only in the waters around Australia and Tasmania. They like to live near the bottom or in muddy, sandy areas.

They feed on sea urchins, crustaceans, mollusks, and fish. Anderson hopes that by sharing these photos, people will be less fearful of sharks.
