The Georgia aquarium has a rather nice announcement, they now have a great selection of shark pups to add to their livestock ranks. Spotted wobbegongs are among the most sluggish of all sharks, laying on the sea floor waiting for prey to come to them. The pups were born last week in the Ocean Voyager exhibit built by The Home Depot. Their average weight at birth was 2.6 oz (74 grams) and 8.3 in (21 cm). The spotted wobbegongs are among the third species of shark pups born at the Aquarium. Previous births include zebra sharks (Stegostoma fasciatum) and bonnethead sharks (Sphyrna tiburo). I’m sure some of us would like to keep these in a predator tank.
