Fun facts about sharks at SEA LIFE London Aquarium:

• Sharks have existed for over 420 million years, predating even the trees!
• The Sand Tiger Sharks, despite their fierce appearance, are not dangerous to humans and can often be seen serenely floating in their habitats thanks to their ability to gulp air and remain buoyant.
• The Nurse Sharks at SEA LIFE can be recognized by their unique barbels, which are sensory organs that help them find food on the ocean floor. These sharks are often found resting in groups and can breathe without swimming, unlike many other shark species.
• Blacktip Reef Sharks are easily identifiable by the prominent black markings on their fins and are known for their agility and smaller size compared to other sharks.

This adventure is available for advance booking, with specific times and dates detailed on our site, where you can also secure tickets for the entire experience or as a spectator.
