Austin the Sengi

Sep. 2025 - Daytona Aquarium - Shark Reef

Do note that this image was taken on September 19th, 2025, at the Daytona Aquarium & Rainforest Adventure in Daytona Beach, Florida, USA.
@Austin the Sengi I really, really want it to be so! I don’t feel 100% comfortable making the call, but it does fit with some of the defining characteristics of the species:
  • The dorsal fin origin appears to be placed before the insertion point of the pectoral fins
  • The fins appear to be unmarked
  • Daytona is the right region of the world to find the species
Truth be told, though, without seeing a better angle of its snout or whether its pectoral fins are pure wits underneath, it’s hard to say for absolutely certain. It doesn’t look like a blacknose shark to me which is the only other thing it could really be, but I’d need to see the snout up close especially - the angle really doesn’t capture whether it’s fully pointed or not, as blacknoses usually are rounded and have a black spot.
