Sunday Stamps - (G) Grey Reef Shark from Australia


For the letter G - Grey Reef Shark
2018 - Australia - Reef Safari
Photographer: Jurgen Freund

The stamp was issued on 1 August 2018, along with four other designs. According to Australia Post: The inquisitive Grey Reef Shark is most often seen in shallow water near the drop-offs of coral reefs. The Grey Reef Shark is bronze to grey in colour on top and a paler shade on its under-side, with a black outline on its tail fin. The species looks similar to the Galapagos Shark, save for the colouration of the tail.

  3. I always like how they look slightly grumpy. Love underwater stamps.
