The milk shark (Rhizoprionodon acutus), known as "Kiri Mora" (කිරි මෝරා) in Sinhala, is a small, widely distributed shark species found in tropical and subtropical coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific and eastern Atlantic. It is a commonly fished species, particularly in Sri Lanka, where its meat is occasionally used in local cuisine and traditionally believed to enhance milk production in breastfeeding mothers.
