Hi, my friend sent me a picture of this shark that washed up dead in Oman. Could you please help us identify it?

Very likely a bull shark but could also be a pigeye shark. The two species are very similar visually and genetically, and it’s possible to differentiate them, but it can be difficult.

Thank you so much for your response. Never heard of pigeye shark before, so it is great to expand my knowledge

I fixed it soon after your post, sorry for not putting it there right away and thank you for mentioning it. I am new to this subreddit (+ this is my 3rd ever reddit post) and did not know this :)

If you are a mod then idk why you get down voted if you aren’t then that’s why. Just a guess
