The Strange World of Shark Eggs

Did you know that sharks lay eggs? While most shark species give birth to live young, there are some fascinating exceptions. Over 500 shark species inhabit waters across the globe, and a portion of them follow an oviparous reproductive strategy, meaning they lay eggs.

However, these egg cases have a distinct appearance that differs from the conventional notion of what an egg looks like.

Very informative video and I don't get it why it doesn't have much more views or comments. YouTube's algorithm is 💩

Hi :) I work for a show 'SBS (Seoul Broadcasting System from South Korea) TV animal farm'. I'm wondering if we could include part of this video in our upcoming weekly show's opening for full credit. I hope to receive your positive reply. Thank you.

Stop calling them purses when you are talking about the egg cases. Kids will take you serious and no telling g what they will think they can do with them.
