Baby shark discovered growing in egg in Norfolk

  • 5 years ago
This amazing underwater video shows a tiny baby shark growing inside its egg getting ready to hatch. The egg was laid by a brown-banded bamboo shark which marine experts believe stored the male's sperm for SIX MONTHS as she had been kept alone during tank cleaning. The team at Hunstanton Sea Life Sanctuary, Norfolk, say the egg, which appeared over the Easter weekend, could hatch at any time. Aquarist Kirsty Sopp said: "When we shone a torch through it to check, we were surprised and delighted to see a wriggling embryo.
