Interesting species. Only the juvenile zebra shark has stripes. As it matures, the stripes disappear and it develops spots, making it look more like another species of "leopard shark".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebra_shark

A juvenile zebra shark with a color pattern intermediate between that of young and adults.

Adult zebra sharks have longitudinal ridges on the body and a spotted pattern.

I sure would like to see Lionel's "rhino shark," though.

Although I like the concept, I don't particularly care for celebrity weeks, whatever guise they wear.

Of course it meant something different for him - it was the period between a hobbit turning 20 and "coming of age" at 33.

They were sure that "leopard shark" was a real type, but Lisa later said she couldn't imagine a shark with black and white stripes. I wonder why she could see a shark with spots but not with stripes.

The corporation that writes the check wants the tax deduction for 2011.
