Walking a Shark!
We are enjoying our last few days here in the kelp forest. After early morning smoothies (at 4am) we boarded the SS Ellie and Edmond and headed out for one last dive. We were hoping to find a little shark who is super neat!
Date: 1/25
Location: Kelp forest
Horn Shark Fun Facts:
- Horn sharks have blunt snouts.
- They have a sharp spine on each dorsal fin that helps protect them from predators.
- Horn sharks are nocturnal and solitary.
- Horn sharks stay in a small home territory.
- Female horn sharks lay cone shape eggs they wedge in between rocks.
- Young sharks live in the kelp forests in rock crevices or holes made by bat rays.
- They use their strong jaws to suck in prey. They then crush the outer shells and eat the meat inside.
We had such a great time on our dive. Luckily we spotted another elasmobranch on our trip and we’ll tell you more about them tomorrow!

I love the polka dots but a walking shark is slightly more terrifying than a regular shark 😉
