Shark fact: nurse sharks are mostly nocturnal and they often spend their days resting on the ocean floor!

...But the problem with this is that not all creatures clean themselves so some won't care that there's a random mark on them. And not all are vision oriented like we are some rely more on scent

Same! 😊 And yeah there's a test (the mirror test) that they do in many animals but it's not really accurate according to some studies. Sharks didn't pass it, basically they put a mark on the animal and give them a mirror. If the animal sees the mark and tries to remove it then they pass the test...

A blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) swimming upwards to the surface. The water is crystal clear so the shark's reflection is visible on the surface

I wonder what sharks think when they see their reflection. Do they recognize themselves? Fish are much more intelligent than previously thought

And I dont think the "mirror test" is accurate for all animals because each creature has different behaviors

Sand tiger sharks are known by several names depending on the location!

They're also called grey nurse sharks, spotted ragged toothed sharks or blue-nurse sand tigers
