Blue Sharks produce large numbers
of live young. This female contained
46 fully developed pups, a relatively
small number for this species.Photo

Southern Stingrays are attracted in
large numbers to Stingray City, an
area in the North Sound of Grand
Cayman Island. Here, the water
depth is less than 2 m ( 6. 5 ft) and ac-
cessible to both snorkelers and scu-
ba divers. Divers can feed and even
pet the rays, which have become
more than accustomed to people in
the water.Photo by Kfulgham 84 , Wiki-
