Zebra Shark

The zebra shark is a fascinating and visually striking marine species known for its unique appearance and docile nature. Native to the warm, tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region, these sharks are most commonly found near coral reefs, sandy flats, and rocky seabeds at depths of up to 60 meters. Their name derives from the zebra-like stripes that young sharks display, which fade into a pattern of spots as they mature, giving them a leopard-like appearance in adulthood.

Zebra sharks are primarily nocturnal and spend most of their time resting motionlessly on the ocean floor during the day. Their slender, flexible bodies and elongated tails allow them to navigate narrow crevices in coral reefs as they hunt for food. These sharks primarily feed on mollusks, crustaceans, and small fish, using their powerful jaws and small, rounded teeth to crush hard shells. They are also known for their remarkable ability to wriggle into tight spaces to extract hidden prey.
