Leopard sharks are incredibly beautiful sharks. They are found in just about every coastal area of California. They are found in very large aggregations in various locations. While most folks associate leopard shark aggregations with La Jolla, CA that aggregation is definitely not the largest I've seen. Malibu, Ventura , and Santa Barbara have some of the largest aggregations I've observed. | The Malibu Artist

Scientists just filmed Indo-Pacific leopard sharks, also known as zebra sharks, mating for the first time. But what they captured wasn't your average coupling. Most shark mating involves violent frenzies where males bite females and jockey each other for prime positions. But Dr. Hugo Lassauce, a researcher at Australia’s University of the Sunshine Coast, observed relatively calm, gentle interactions among the three sharks. The female cruised by with a male hanging off each fin. The males then to
