This Nurse Shark fish mount is hand-made from Albizia Furcata wood. It is hand-painted using an air brush with a nitrocellulose lacquer top coat for a "wet-look" finish. This fish sculpture was carefully carved to create a fish replica. It is a half mount with a flat back with two holes for hanging on a wall. It is a beautiful hand-crafted piece of fish art that will surely get noticed by everyone who sees it.

| Comments: | In North American waters, Nurse Shark is most abundant off the coasts of southern Florida. It feeds on small fishes, sea urchins, and a variety of crustaceans. This shark is thought to be harmless, but divers who grab at it often get "bitten" abrasions. It is too sluggish to be actively pursued by anglers. Although other sharks are found living in or around coral reefs, Nurse Shark is the only one that will be seen resting motionless on the bottom. No other species of shark is likely to be confused with Nurse Shark, particularly when habits and habitat are taken into consideration. |
