Leopard Sharks in Penglai Ocean Polar World

Seven leopard shark pups eggs hatched successfully in Shandong Penglai Ocean Polar World.

The female leopard shark lays eggs inside her body and the shark pups are born when the eggs hatch inside of her. A leopard shark can give birth to a litter of four to 30 pups at a time!


Leopard sharks grow slowly, taking ten years to reach maturity.

The small sharks are all the normal physical condition since their birth this month and show no adverse signs.

The breeders will pay close attention to the pups and study the marine animals to gain more experience.
