Did you know…
- Male Grey Nurse Sharks bite females during the courtship process. In the breeding season it is common to see small scars on the females
- The sharks are able to swallow air at the surface of the water in order to give them buoyancy control
- They have large, sharp teeth, but they are not very strong and break easily
- The Grey Nurse Shark was the first protected shark in the world when it was protected under New South Wales legislation in 1984. Thanks to environment.gov.au

Thanks Anne and Gary for the original blog! Jo B saw 2 Grey Nurse Sharks early this morning in quite shallow water. The later swimmers missed out although they could reappear. Los of PJs and Wobbies though and amazingly clear water!

Splendid information. No port Jackson’s today but a grey nurse and a created one (if that’s the right name)!
