From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Indian sand tiger, Carcharias tricuspidatus, is a sand tiger of the shark family Odontaspididae, found in the Indian and western Pacific oceans. Its length is up to 3.7 m.
Further work may show that the Indian sand tiger may actually be Carcharias taurus, and therefore not a separate species.
Reproduction is ovoviviparous, the embryos feeding on their yolk sac, and other ova produced by the mother.
