ABOUT

Leopards of the sea. Leopard sharks enjoy a narrow band of ocean and inlet areas in the Pacific Ocean between Oregon and the Gulf of California. They are some of the most common sharks found along the coast of California. Named for their striking appearance, these sharks sport dark, saddle-shaped splotches along the fins and upper body, overlaying an all silver or grey body. Leopard sharks arrive in San Diego in massive numbers during warm summer months, and have been observed to be mostly pregnant females! While here, they enjoy the warm, shallow, protected waters of the Matlahuayl State Marine Reserve in La Jolla, California.
Bendy, not bony. Sharks and other fish have many characteristics in common. One thing that sets them apart from most fish species is their skeleton. Most fish belong to a Class called Osteichthyes, which have hard bones, like ours. Sharks, rays, and skates, on the other hand, belong to a class called the Chondrichthyes; their skeleton is made of cartilage, just like our ears and nose!

Sink or swim. Leopard sharks

are well-adapted to living near the ocean floor, spending most of their time a foot or so above the bottom. This is because they, like all sharks, lack a swim bladder, a sac-like organ that fish use to fine- tune their buoyancy. Instead, they store oil in their massive livers to counterbalance their own weight. They typically remain slightly less buoyant than the water around them, so they tend to sink when they are not swimming.

A sixth and seventh

sense. Humans and sharks have five senses in common: sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch. All fish have a sixth sense, called the lateral line, which can sense pressure changes in the water. Sharks have a seventh sense located near the snout, called the ampullae de Lorenzini, that can detect close-by electromagnetic fields that are radiated by every living animal. Sharks can detect these electromagnetic waves up to

Friend, not food. There are no reported fatal attacks on humans by leopard sharks. In fact, there are only a handful of reported "attacks" by leopard sharks at all. These attacks could be in the form of the shark just bumping into a human. However, leopard sharks are occasionally caught as a food source for humans. Because of their slow growth rate, late maturity, and low reproductive output, catching too many leopard sharks can cause their populations to rapidly decline. Due to high levels of mercury in its flesh, leopard sharks should not be consumed regularly, as per the warnings of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
