Dusky Smooth-hound Sharks, small coastal sharks of the western Atlantic, favor sandy bottoms, bays, and estuaries. They feed on crabs, shrimp, and fish with blunt teeth suited for crushing. Generally harmless to humans, they’re caught commercially and recreationally. Their docile nature makes them approachable for divers.
