Feeding behavior: Being bottom dwellers with small mouths, they are unable to consumed large fish. They hunt alone and catch their prey from the sea floor, mostly by sucking their prey into their mouths. Their preferred prey includes sea snails, crustaceans, mollusks, and other small fish. Human interaction: This species is not typically hunted by commercial fishers or for sport fishing. However, some small operations capture this fish for its skin, which is used in high quality leathers. Their liver is also harvested for certain types of oils. The threat to humans is very minimal. Habitat: they spend much of their time on the sea floor in tropical waters around coastal shelves, reefs, and channels. They seem to enjoy the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, especially around the Caribbean Islands. This is generally a shallow water fish. Migration: Nurse sharks do not tend to migrate, but as the water becomes cooler their activity level decreases.
