Carcharhinus frequens

Carcharhinus frequens is a little-documented requiem shark taxon, associated with marine waters like other members of its genus. It would have been an active swimmer, using its streamlined body to patrol for small fishes and other animal prey. Requiem sharks typically seize prey with repeated bites and may investigate objects with their jaws. The precise modern status and biology of this name are uncertain, so details of its habitat and size are poorly resolved.
