Sand sharks, also known as sand tiger sharks, primarily feed on a diet of bony fish, smaller sharks, and crustaceans. They are known for their unique hunting technique, which involves ambushing prey in the water column. While they are formidable predators, they are not at the very top of the food chain, as larger sharks and marine mammals can prey on them. Overall, sand sharks play a significant role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems.
