These two sharks have very different hunting strategies. The Gray Reef shark (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) eats fish and small squid and gets them by "typical" hunting - chasing small fish at night. They live in coral reef and shoal habitats, whereas the megamouth (Megachasma pelagios) lives in deeper abyssal waters. This shark is unique in that it is one of three that eat microscopic plankton. It 'hunts' by filter feeding, like a whale might.
They herd the fish against a reef wall, so the fish are cornered.
Herd the fish into a wall.
