Grey Nurse Shark born at Oceanworld in Sydney

This is great news .. although the last grey nurse shark baby that was born at Oceanworld last year died reasonably quickly. Lets keep our fingers cross for this baby. Naming rights to be auctioned on ebay as we speak.

From the Sydney Morning Herald:

A Sydney aquarium has successfully bred a critically endangered grey nurse shark for the second time.

A male shark pup was born at Oceanworld Manly on February 6 to 20-year-old mother Pallas.

The birth comes five years after female pup Maia was born to a different mother at the same aquarium.

Oceanworld Manly is one of only three aquariums worldwide that have successfully bred the endangered species.
