Sand tiger shark and black tip reef shark both are not
aggressive. Sand tigers are strong and spend most of their time close to the
bottom looking for food. The Blacktip
Reef Shark is not considered social, however, it has seen in small groups. Sand
tiger also can’t be in large group, they like to stay alone. They are both jump
out of the water. Sand tiger swim to the surface of the water to gulp and
swallow air. Blacktip reef’s leaps can people see them on the great Barrier
reef off the coast of the Australia. The sand tiger shark can be found in most
warm seas throughout the world except for the eastern Pacific.

fish and also eat rays and even small sharks as the tiger does. The sand tiger feed
cooperatively with other sand tiger sharks, surrounding, and herding schooling

There are many kinds of sharks in all seas around the world.
Sand tiger sharks (Scientific
name) and blacktip reef sharks (Scientific name) are two of them. Both of them live near Australia and Africa.
While sand tiger sharks and blacktip reef sharks are different in many ways,
they exhibit many similarities in behavior and diet.[NL1]
[Connector to thesis statement?] Sand
tiger sharks and blacktip reef sharks have similar behavior that make[NL2]
some people cannot distinguish between them. First of all, neither Sand tiger sharks and
black tip reef sharks are aggressive. Sand tigers are strong and spend most of
their time close to the bottom looking for food. [1]The [NL3] Blacktip
Reef Shark is not considered social,[NL4]
however, it has seen
in small groups. Sand tiger_ also can’t be in large group_,[NL5]
they like to stay alone. They are both jump out of the water. Sand tiger_ swim to the surface
of the water to swallow air. The blacktip reef [sometimes?
frequently?] jump_ out of the water during a feeding frenzy of fish.[2]
[Connector to thesis statement?] Both sand tigers and blacktip reefs
eat a varied diet. And their diet are similar more [NL6] than
different. Both of them eat crabs and squid. The blacktip reef eats varied diet
more [NL7] than
the sand tiger does. The sand tiger consume_ large and small bony fishes, small
sharks, rays, [and] lobsters. The blacktip eats
rays and even small sharks as the tiger does.[3]
Sand tigers always focus on the bottom of the sea to catch their food. They
start to eat large size of fish as soon as they grow up. Blacktips[NL8]
always [NL9] eat
reef fish, but also eat octopuses, cuttlefish, shrimp, and sea snakes.[4]
In conclusion, blacktip reef sharks and sand tiger sharks
have a lot of things in common. They almost eat and behave in almost the same way. They pose a
threat to human. [NL10] They are not [NL11] in a large group. They eat some different
kind_ of food but in[NL12] the same time, they both eat crabs and squid

[NL1]A
very nice introduction!
[NL3]Add
a space after the footnote.
[NL8]Be
careful. I think the blacktip shark is different from the blacktip reef shark.
[NL10]But
you said neither was aggressive. How do you reconcile these two things?

C & C Final Draft
There are many kinds of sharks in all seas around the
world. Sand tiger sharks (Galeocerdo
cuvier) and blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus
limbatus) are two of them. Both of them live near Australia and Africa.
While sand tiger sharks and blacktip reef sharks are different in many ways,
they exhibit many similarities in behavior and diet.
In
terms of behavior, sand tiger sharks and blacktip reef sharks have such similar
behavior that some people cannot distinguish between them. First of all, both sand
tiger sharks and black tip reef sharks are aggressive. Sand tigers are strong
and spend most of their time close to the bottom looking for food. [1]
The blacktip reef shark is not considered social;
however, it has been seen in small groups. Sand tiger sharks also can’t be in
large groups; they like to stay alone. They both
jump out of the water. Sand tiger sharks swim to the surface of the water to
swallow air. The blacktip reef shark sometimes jumps out of
the water during a feeding frenzy.[2]
In terms of diet, both sand tiger sharks and blacktip reef
sharks eat a varied diet. And their diets are
more similar than different. Both of them eat crabs and squid. The blacktip
reef shark eats a more varied diet than the sand tiger does. The sand tiger
shark consumes large and small bony fishes, small sharks, rays, and lobsters. The blacktip reef shark eats rays and even
small sharks as the tiger does.[3]
Sand tiger sharks always focus on the bottom of the sea to catch their food.
They start to eat large fish as soon as they grow up. Blacktip reef sharks
usually eat reef fish, but also eat octopuses, cuttlefish, shrimp, and sea
snakes.[4]
In conclusion, blacktip reef sharks and sand tiger sharks
have a lot of things in common. They eat and behave in almost the same way.
They both pose a threat to humans. They don’t
spend time in a large group. They eat some different kinds of food but at the
same time, they
