SHARK BABIES
Baby sharks are called
pups. Just like there are many types of sharks, there are also
different ways that sharks come into this world. There are three
ways that sharks are born:
-
eggs are laid
(like birds)
-
eggs hatch inside the mother
and then are born
-
pups sharks grow inside the
mother (like humans)
Sharks can have from 1 to 100
babies at a time, depending on the type of shark. The ones with pups
that grow inside the mother have fewer babies at a time than sharks that
lay eggs outside the body.
Sharks do not care for their
babies after they are born, but they do search for a safe place where they
can lay their eggs or give birth.
