What color are thresher sharks?
Sharks can only see in shades of grey.
Findings from a study by Australian scientists, released in September 2012, show that sharks' eyes have just one type of cone opsin - or light-sensitive proteins found in the photoreceptor cells of the retina - instead of the two or more that are needed to see colour. Cone opsins are used to help animals see in bright light, and to differentiate between colours.

Their body is stout. The nurse shark can be many different colors, from yellowish tan to dark brown. Instead of the pointy dorsal fins, nurse sharks have rounded dorsal fins on their back, the first one bigger than the second. Nurse sharks have extremely long caudal fins, or tails. The bottom fin, the pectoral fin, helps the nurse shark to hover, and sometimes even to "walk" along the ocean floor. The shark has a precaudal pit but no caudal keels.
One of the distinguishing features of nurse sharks are their barbells - fleshy appendages which hang below their nostrils and, in part, provide a sense of touch which assists in the location of prey along the bottom. Female is always slightly larger than the male of the species.
