Speaking of sharks, do your friends can't help but tremble in their hearts? And I thought of their huge bodies and fierce appearance. In fact, there are not only "big men" like whale sharks in the shark family, but also many cute "little ones". These little guys are also important members of the shark family.
Today, take you to know these cute little sharks.
Buddha-style tiger shark
The Fowl has a spike at the tip of its dorsal fin and is brown with black spots. They are mostly nocturnal and appear lazy during the day. Due to their small size, they have more natural enemies. However, they also have a secret weapon to control the enemy - the spikes on the back ridge are specially designed to deal with predators. Even if the hunter has swallowed them in his mouth, the spikes will make it difficult to swallow and can only spit them out.
Striped dog sharks
The striped dog shark is small in size, with a cylindrical body and beautiful stripes on its surface. Its snout is round, like a dog's nose, and its dorsal fin is small and very interesting. They usually like to play in the seaweed bushes on the seabed, catch small fish and shrimp, and sometimes hide near the reef to rest.
Long-snout sawshark
The long-snout sawshark has a long snout with jagged protrusions on both sides of the snout, hence the name. When the baby shark is born, the protrusion of the kiss is folded backwards so that it will not hurt the mother shark.
The snout is an important weapon of the long-snout sawshark. The stomata on its snout can sense the currents emitted by other animals, even when prey is buried in the mud. When it finds its prey, the long-snouted sawshark will stun the prey with its kisses before slowly enjoying it. The tentacles of the longnose sawshark help them search for food underwater.
Leopard shark
The leopard shark's body is covered with light brown spots, resembling leopard print, hence the name. However, in their infancy, they are covered with thick black and white stripes, and at this time they are called "zebra sharks". The leopard shark is slender overall, with its long tail fins accounting for about half of its body length.
The leopard shark is a warm-water benthic fish that is a veritable "night owl". Slow movement during the day and coming out at night to hunt for prey. Although they are usually docile, if provoked, they will attack.
Although the baby sharks are cute, they still have to stay away when they see sharks in the future! After all, safety comes first!
