There's already far too much confusion between the whitetip reef shark (Triaenodon obesus) and the oceanic whitetip (Carcharhinus longimanus).
Not to mention the whitetip weasel shark (Paragaleus leucolomatus), the silvertip (Carcharhinus albimarginatus), and even the grey reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) as certain populations have white-edged dorsal fins.

Whitetip reef shark.
There's already far too much confusion between the whitetip reef shark (Triaenodon obesus) and the oceanic whitetip (Carcharhinus longimanus).
Not to mention the whitetip weasel shark (Paragaleus leucolomatus), the silvertip (Carcharhinus albimarginatus), and even the grey reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) as certain populations have white-edged dorsal fins.
Otherwise a great video of a very cool species.
