Baby Stegostoma fasciatum! I couldn’t wait to post this picture. Confusing to many, this is where the Zebra shark gets its name: the baby is born with black and white stripes and as the animal ages, its stripes are lost and morphed into the mature pattern we see as black spots over beige skin - which leads to the misnomer of “Leopard shark” (which is actually Triakis semifasciata, a houndshark). by JP-Photography.fr on Flickr. -- source link
