Australia seeks to breed test-tube sharks
Science News Article | Reuters.co.uk
I mistakenly first read this as: " Australians seek to breast-feed sharks" ..... ;-)
Now I know Aussies are a tough lot ... but that's a bit much!! ... ;-)
That's what speed-reading does for you! :)
Anyway ... Back to Serious-Land .....
The thing that amazed me from this article, is the fact that gray nurse shark embryo pups EAT EACH OTHER INSIDE THE WOMB!!
Seriously .. they have two wombs, and the dominant pup EATS the other pup with it's razor-sharp teeth .. IN THE WOMB!
TWO PUPS ENTER ..... ONE PUP LEAVES ........ [THUNDER WOMB] .. :)
One other fact: Despite their ferocious looks, the gray nurse sharp has a reputation of being extremely docile.

Don't they have enough Sharks there already?
Apparently, they thought these particular sharks were horrid man-eating beasts, so they started to wipe them out in the 1960's. They have almost accomplished that feat, however we now see that these particular sharks are very docile and didn't deserve the image that was placed on them.
