As the Alpha Shark you must eat to survive and defend your territory from other sharks who may challenge you. This vibrant coral reef is full of mysteries and places to explore. In these nutrient rich waters, fish are boundless, but after a while you may simply wish to swim in the tranquil water and enjoy the scenery.
