- Scuba diving in Byron bay in New South Wales of Australia was absolutely spectacular. I was hoping to see atleast one Zebra shark and we actually got to see so many of them and not just them, also many turtles, eagle ray, manta ray, wobegongs, stingrays.. I didn´t know where to look and point my camera first.
Zebra sharks (in Australia called Leopard sharks)
🦈The World Conservation Union has assessed this species as Endangered worldwide, as it is taken by commercial fisheries across most of its range (except off Australia) for meat, fins, and liver oil. There is evidence that its numbers are decreasing.
🦈The color pattern in young sharks is dark brown above and light yellow below, with vertical yellow stripes and spots. As the shark grows to 50-90 cm (20-35 in) long, the dark areas begin to break up, changing the general pattern from light-on-dark stripes to dark-on-light spots.
🦈The zebra shark grows to length of 2.5 m
🦈The zebra shark feeds primarily on shelled molluscs, though it also takes crustaceans, small bony fishes, and possibly sea snakes. The slender, flexible body of this shark allows it to wriggle into narrow holes and crevices in search of food, while its small mouth and thickly muscled buccal cavity allow it to create a powerful suction force with which to extract prey.
🦈Docile and slow-moving, zebra sharks are not dangerous to humans. However, they have bitten divers who pull on their tails or attempt to ride them, which is fair enough.. sometimes I wonder how do people come up with some ideas
🦈Zebra sharks are often confused with leopard sharks
