How do zebra sharks live?
- ๐๏ธ 27
Zebra sharks are a species of carpet shark found in the shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific region, particularly around coral reefs and sandy areas. They are carnivorous, feeding on crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish. Zebra sharks are nocturnal hunters, using their keen sense of smell to locate prey on the ocean floor. They are slow-moving and rely on their camouflage to avoid predators. Zebra sharks are ovoviviparous, meaning the female carries fertilized eggs inside her body until the young hatch. Females typically give birth to 2-4 pups after a gestation period of 6-9 months. The young are born fully formed and independent.
