A Lemon Shark Gives Birth | EARTH A New Wild
In order to continue the tagging and research of lemon sharks, marine scientists in Florida assist in the birth of two shark pups. Lemon sharks, like most sharks, are viviparous, meaning they give birth to live young. Mother lemon sharks migrate to warm, shallow nursery waters to give birth in a safe environment. Use this resource to demonstrate field research and marine biology, as well as shark biology and reproduction.
