They can grow up to 4 meters long and have the longest petorcal fins of any shark. they tend to travel alone and will avoid other sharks.
The diet of an oceanic whitetip varies over different periods of time, as they can never be sure when they will eat next, they will eat anything that they find whenever they find it.
Oceanic whitetips are more often than not surrounded by pilot fish, who stay with it for protection. The shark can't eat them as they are small, therefore meaning that eating them gives them indigestion (never ever trust a shark like this people, babies or not, are classed in the big category!) Despite the fact that they don't attack humans unless they are starved or there has been a certain amount of provocation, they are curious, powerful and frankly dangerous sharks and are not to be taken lightly.
