Template:Sharksportal The speartooth shark, Glyphis glyphis, is a shark of the family Carcharhinidae, found in the tropical waters of the western Pacific Ocean between latitudes 5° N and 21° S. Its length is up to about 1 m.
The little-known speartooth shark has an uncertain occurrence in Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, and Queensland, Australia, known only from the original account of Müller & Henle (1839). It is presumably found inshore, and may possibly reach 3 m. It is viviparous but its biology is poorly known.
