They are similar to Atlantic Sand Tigers, if not the same.
I've seen references that say they are the same and others that just
say they are related.  Either way, they are not at all like nurse or bull
sharks here.

There are some interesting 'facts' at

We have a lot of Sand Tigers on both inshore and offshore wrecks here
in southern North Carolina.  They've always been friendly enough when I've
seen them but one did take a flounder away from a diver here last week.
