Examine the pelvic fins on the bottom of the shark. Male sharks will have two, tubular claspers trailing off the back part of the fins. Female sharks will have normal, rounded fins. The claspers on the male shark are its reproductive organs and are used to internally fertilize the female. Juvenile males will have smaller, short claspers and can be harder to identify.
