Triakis semifasciata

This is one of our friendly neighborhood leopard sharks, cruising the shallows under our pier. They are in particular abundance in our bay right now, with as many as 100 cruising the shallows at any given time. These sharks are extremely docile, and typically very skittish around divers, but they took quite an interest when I brought some fish into the water with me. You can see that video here: Leopard Sharks in Toyon Bay. Make sure to up the quality!

i still feel skittish when fishes bigger than a foot swim around me.. :D that’s one cool capture though.. :)

    Great composition; the way the hillside curves really directs your eye toward the elephant...
