Zebra sharks swimming through the aquarium

Name: Zebra Shark (Stegostoma fasciatum or varium)
Diet: These sharks mainly feed on reef mollusks, which are a small fish, and crustaceans. You can also see them feasting on small fish. Because of the shark’s flexible body type, it is able to fit into small crevices and reef channels to search for food.
Size: Averagely this shark only grows to about 7.5 feet, but the maximum length that has been recorded is 12 feet.
Location: Zebra sharks are mainly found in near-shore reefs of the western Pacific Ocean, which is Japan to Australia. Also they can be sited in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.
Habitants: you will found the Zebra Shark resting on the bottom on the ocean floor. These sharks are known as bottom-dwellers.
Population: This shark is in the state of being vulnerable to being on the endangered list due to being taken regularly by inshore fisheries.
Predator: Due to the size of the adult Zebra Shark, very few sea animals could take down this shark. The main predator for this creature is the fisheries. Fisheries have been collecting the meat of this shark and selling it in both fresh and salt-dried meat, and using it for fishmeal. The livers of these sharks are being collected and processed to be used for vitamins, and the fins are being dried for the shark-fin trade.
Interesting facts: This shark was first described in 1758 by Seba, as being Squalus varius.
During the day these sharks are resting at the bottom of the floor, motionless, but during the night they are active hunters.
This animal can be seen at the Baltimore Aquarium, the same place that the marine biology class will be taking a field trip.
