The figure's most distinctive feature is the prominent black tips on its dorsal and caudal fins, from which it derives its common name. The figure's head is characterized by a pointed snout and small eyes positioned laterally for enhanced binocular vision. The pectoral fins are broad and angular, facilitating precise maneuverability in tight spaces among coral formations. Overall, this Black Tip Reef Shark figure serves as a realistic representation of the species' physical characteristics.

The Black Tip Reef Shark is a common species found in the shallow coastal waters of the tropical Indo-Pacific region, including areas around coral reefs and lagoons. It is characterized by its slender body and distinct coloration, featuring a bronze-gray to gray dorsal side with prominent black markings on the tips of its dorsal fin, caudal fin, and sometimes its pectoral fins. These black tips are more pronounced in younger individuals and tend to fade as the shark matures.
Black Tip Reef Sharks typically grow to lengths of around 4 to 5 feet (1.2 to 1.5 meters) and are known for their agile and swift swimming abilities. They have streamlined bodies and well-developed pectoral fins that enable them to navigate through coral reefs with ease, where they hunt a variety of small fish, crustaceans, and cephalopods. Their slender, pointed snout allows them to reach into crevices and coral formations in search of prey, demonstrating their specialized feeding adaptations.
