Leopard sharks are a species of houndshark. They are native to the eastern Pacific Ocean from Oregon to the Gulf of California, Mexico.
Their distinctive dark, saddle-shaped splotches along the fins and upper body give them their name. These slender, robust fish live in shallow waters of bays and estuaries. They are commonly found in water less than 4 m deep, and tend to live near the bottom of the water where they are protected from predators.
These sharks are very active day and night, and sometimes swim in large schools. They have the ability to swim long distances without ever surfacing to breath, and they are known to be nomadic.
Like other sharks, leopard sharks use their eyes to see the seafloor, a unique feature that helps them locate and catch prey. They have cones, rods, and horizontal cells in their eyes that help them navigate and detect their prey.
They also have a pair of pectoral fins that are triangular and wide. These sharks grow to lengths of about 1.2-1.5 meters (3.9-4.9 feet) with females being slightly longer than males.
These sharks are carnivorous and eat crabs, fish eggs, clam siphons, and burrowing worms. As they get older, they start to eat more fish and fewer crabs. They have also been discovered eating other sharks, rays, and octopus!
