Greetings Shark Team!
It's been a few months since our last blog, so we thought we'd do two today. First, the Blind Shark. The Blind Shark is in the carpet shark group. This shark is not actually blind at all. They get their name from the way they tightly close their eyes when pulled out of the water, giving the appearance of having no eyes at all! The Blind Shark lives off the coast of Australia. They are usually found in shallow water, hiding in caves during the day, coming out at night to hunt. There are two species of Blind Shark. The Blind Shark is yellow underneath and brown on top, with pale spots. It is usually around 4 feet long. Blind Sharks have long spiracles, which help them breathe, even when their snouts are buried in mud. Blind Sharks feed by snuffling along the ocean floor, searching for cuttlefish, shellfish and crabs.
Have you ever seen a Blind Shark?
