The pig-eyed shark is a large marine predator from the gray shark family. It has very large round eyes, a powerful body, and a gray color that helps it hide in coastal waters.
The pig-eyed shark differs from other gray sharks with its very large eyes and wide snout. It is important for nature because it controls the population of fish and rays in tropical coastal ecosystems.
