Nurse sharks are slow-moving sharks that often rest on the seafloor during the day. They have a broad, rounded head, small eyes, and barbels near their mouths that help them detect food.
Unlike many sharks, nurse sharks often spend time resting in groups. They use their strong mouths to suck up prey such as fish, crustaceans, and other small sea animals.
