Shark belly-buttons heal! Skin denticles surround the 'scar', then as the skin heals over the denticles grow to crowd the space. Whether sharks are born in eggs (yolk-attached) or live (placental) they all have umbilical scars that heal. 🦈🦷 #babyshark #skinteeth #sharkscience

Tons of leopard #sharks and bat rays in only knee-deep water this morning off #LaJolla , the day before #HuricaneHilary due to roll into #SanDiego . Will be interesting to check on them again after the storm. Stay safe out there! Point Loma Nazarene University Scripps Institution of Oceanography #sharks cience

This stunning, extra spotty leopard #shark was seen off #LaJolla Shores Beach this weekend. This unusual color morph deviates from the typical pattern of horizontal saddles with spots.

The first leg of the September VASMAP survey was a success! We tagged and released multiple sharks including large tigers, sandbars, spinners, a dusky, and a blacknose

We got to tag and release this big girl before the tropical storm rolls in :)

Check out the iridescent silvery shimmer on the underside of a hatchling small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula)! Amazing colour pattern! #shark #shark skin #babyshark #shark science #evodevo #devbio 🦈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😎

This was yesterday off #LaJolla , the morning after the remnants of #HuricaneHilary passed through #SanDiego . Clearly, the leopard #sharks were unfazed and the water was surprisingly clear. See the white flashes? Those are sharks rolling over! Point Loma Nazarene University Scripps Institution of Oceanography #sharks cience

New open access research in ScienceDirect Biological Conservation finds that warm, shallow-water rays are more intrinsically sensitive to #overfishing and other threats than cold, deep-water skates:
