Nurse Shark Resting

Settle down on the sea floor with a sleepy, gentle shark. This nurse shark coloring page shows a calm shark resting on the sandy bottom, with a broad flat head, two small whisker-like barbels near its mouth, a long rounded body, low fins, and a few rocks and shells scattered around it. Unlike fast-swimming sharks, nurse sharks are slow and spend much of the day resting quietly on the ocean floor. The little barbels by its mouth help it taste and feel for food hidden in the sand. With its calm pose and the cozy rocks and shells, this is a relaxing page to color, and the seabed details give kids extra shapes to fill in beyond the shark. Try a sandy tan or brown for the shark and warm colors for the shells. Print it on US Letter or A4 and enjoy a quiet moment of coloring.
