It has an indented forehead and large broad pectoral fins, and the first dorsal fin set further back than that of other thresher sharks. The upper caudal lobe is very long and strap-like, virtually the same length as the body.
The color is purplish grey above, bream below, with posterior edges of pectoral and pelvic fins dusky.
Bigeye threshers are found in all types of water; coastal shallows, over the continental shelf, and at sea far from land, at all depths down to 500 m.
