RE: Courtship: A Collage for LMAC #152

shark babies are called pups

That's a rather cute label for such bitey creature.

The variety of sexual reproduction strategies in the animal kingdom is breathtaking. These sharks seem a little frisky in their approach to romance, but I imagine it varies between species. Great inspiration for your collage, which as always it's filled with delightful tidbits of knowledge. :)

It seems to be pretty consistent across shark species (from the little I read). There may be exceptions (because there is so much we don't know), but it seems pretty much a violent encounter, and the female doesn't seem to have a say. Of course, it's new to me, so there's that😄

Fascinating creatures, aren't they?

Thanks for stopping by, @litguru

I thought there was a large shark that was vegetarian and very gentle. I bet you he puts on Barry White to get in the mood and only bites if asked. In defense of the other sharks, I would say that although they bite the females pretty hard, at least they don't eat her like the praying mantis female does the male. :P
