Good quiz! A couple of things though. It wouldn't accept "sand tiger" or "white tip" with a space. Overall good quiz though.

nice quiz....like the prehistoric ones. Not sure I would agree with the Lemon Shark description as attacks are rare, and those documented have not been fatal.

Sand tiger sharks are not aggressive, they are a very docile and shy species of elasmobranch. However, it is true that baby sand tiger sharks kill and eat each other, as well as unfertilized eggs, while they are in the womb.
