Zebra shark in Mozambique Dec 6 2007

The zebra shark (Stegostoma fasciatum) is a highly distinctive looking fish, particularly because of its long tail and dark brown spots on a yellowish to brown background. It is this adult colouring that gives it the alternative name of leopard shark. The juvenile zebra shark has stripes, hence the common name.
