Gray or Grey reef shark?

GrahamBould just changed from Gray to Grey reef shark, I was about to change back, but I did a check in fishbase and it spells it Grey, same with ITIS, marinebio spells Gray, a quick Google test seams to indicate that Grey is more common, so everything seams to indicate that we have the wrong name ~~and no redirect~~, I will be bold and do a move now, ~~which will make a redirect,~~ but I'm not sure. Anyone? Stefan 14:29, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hum can not move over a redirect since it has a history, anyway, then lets talk and decide and then make the request to an admin to move if it is correct. I think it is. Anyone else? Stefan 14:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Leonard Compagno spells it grey in Sharks of the World, Princeton University Press, New Jersey 2005 ISBN 0-691-12072-2. He's pretty authoritative. GrahamBould 09:04, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reproduction

Is this species actually viviparous, or is it ovoviviparous? DS (talk) 15:13, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All members of the family Carcharhinidae are viviparous, except for the tiger shark. -- Yzx (talk) 18:01, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
