The Caranx genus is the largest of the sharks, with some species growing up to 10 feet long and weighing over 1,000 pounds. All six species of Caranx have sharp spines on their dorsal fins, which they use to hunt and capture their prey. The Caranx genus is known for its fierce hunting habits and aggressive behavior. All six species of Caranx are known to attack and eat other fish, mammals, and even other sharks.
