Ferocious looking fish have been spotted swimming by our Shark Cam off the coast of Cape Fear, but there’s absolutely nothing to be afraid of. Sandtiger sharks are actually a bunch of softies who’d prefer to sink their pointy teeth into bottom-feeding fish. They’re still a big catch to see in the wild. Here are some of the best Shark Cam snapshots of the week.
Sharks need oxygen-rich water constantly flowing over their gills, so it’s hard for them to stop and take a breather.

“Heyyy folks, get a load of me!” Come on, fish. Just being on the Shark Cam doesn’t make you a shark.
And for our BIG FINale, this shark was spotted today by viewer Bluez.
