Behavior
Although this shark is a bottom dweller and appears harmless, it should be respected due to its powerful jaws and sharp teeth which can inflict painful lacerations if provoked. It may bite if a diver approaches the head or grabs the tail. If they are left alone, they will not attack.

Famous quotes containing the word behavior:
“The abdication of Belief
Makes the Behavior small
Better an ignis fatuus
Than no illume at all.”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)
“The confusion of emotions with behavior causes no end of unnecessary trouble to both adults and children. Behavior can be commanded; emotions cant. An adult can put controls on a childs behaviorat least part of the timebut how do you put controls on what a child feels? An adult can impose controls on his own behaviorif hes grown upbut how does he order what he feels?”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“The fact that behavior is normal, or consistent with childhood development, does not necessarily make it desirable or acceptable...Undesirable impulses do not have to be embraces as something good in order to be accepted as normal. Neither does childrens behavior that is unacceptable have to be condemned as bad, in order to bring it under control.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
