"Blackspotted puffer" is a poor choice of preferred common name for this species, as that name is normally associated with Arothron nigropunctatus. I have changed it to "Starry puffer".

Jeremy Frimond commented on "Carcharodon carcharias (Linnaeus, 1758)":
Charcharodon carcharias is not by nature a social animal however at large feeding events that can support multiple animals a social hierarchy may form. The excerpt from Dr. Ebert’s book below describes in more depth the extent of their social behavior: “Charcharodon carcharias may occur either singly or in groups particularly in feeding aggregations around whale carcasses where nine or more individuals have been observed at a time. A social hierarchy sometimes prevails when feeding on a large whale carcass, with the largest sharks feeding first followed in order of size by other sharks.” Shark Rays and Chimeras of California, David A. Ebert PhD , 2003 Page 115

I disagree that Charcharodon carcharias (Cc) is considered a social animal. I have noticed there are two citations behind this staement however I cannot find the corresponding links. Any help?
