【明報專訊】Zebra sharks (豹紋鯊) have an unusual body shape— with a round snout and beady eyes, they look like a torpedo (魚雷) with a long tail. When young, they have white or yellowish stripes across their dark body, hence their name. As they grow up, the pattern changes to small dark spots against a greyish-brown body, which is why adult zebra sharks are sometimes also called leopard sharks. A full-grown zebra shark measures around 3.5 metres long, equivalent to two adult men.
