I'll review this shark. MathewTownsend (talk) 23:50, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just a few notes: I enlarged the image of the shark slightly in order to see details better, but feel free to change back. Also (minor), the statement "Harmless to humans" does seem to be mentioned in ref 14 - however nothing in the article indicates otherwise and I may have missed the info in the ref.

Did you mean "does not seem to be mentioned"? If so, the info is in the "threat to humans" box near the bottom by the IUCN status.

I thought I read in one of the references that not that much is known about this shark, but I can't find it now. (Did I hallucinate?)

That has been said, but it's such a relative thing and given the difficulty of doing the research there's probably only a dozen shark species total that I've seen described as "well-known".

This is well written, nicely illustrated and clearly structured. Very informative about this shark.
