• “Baby shark doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo, baby shark doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo …” If you’re the parent of a young child, you’re probably painfully familiar with this infectious song, which now has more than 13 billion views on YouTube.
• The Baby Shark song, released in 2016, has got hordes of us singing along, but how much do you really know about baby sharks?

How are baby sharks conceived and born?

• If successful, this is generally followed by even toothier bites to hold on during copulation.
• The male inserts its sexual organ, known as a “clasper”, into the female and releases sperm to fertilise the eggs.
• However, in extremely rare cases, sharks can reproduce asexually – in other words, embryos develop without being fertilised.

How big is a litter of shark pups?

• For example, the grey nurse shark starts with several embryos but only two are born.
• In contrast, other species such as the whale shark use a completely different strategy to ensure some of their offspring survive: having hundreds of pups in a single litter.

Where do baby sharks live?

• That’s why pregnant female sharks often give birth in shallow coastal waters known as “nurseries”.
• There, baby sharks are better protected from harsh environmental conditions and roaming predators, including other sharks.
• Although most types of sharks are confined to saltwater, the bull shark can live in freshwater habitats.

When are baby sharks born?

Sharks, like most animals in the wild, generally give birth during periods that provide favourable conditions for their offspring. In Australia, for example, scalloped hammerheads and bull sharks tend to breed in the wet summer months when nursery grounds are warmer and there are rich feeding opportunities.

How long do baby sharks take to grow up?

• Sharks grow remarkably slowly compared to other fish and remain juveniles for a long time.
• Although some species mature in a few years, most take considerably longer.

What threats do baby sharks face?

• While small, sharks must eat or be eaten – all the while enduring the elements and finding enough food to survive and grow.
• And because sharks grow so slowly, they are particularly to vulnerable to overfishing because when populations decline, they can take a long time to bounce back.

Much more to learn

• Scientists are still working to understand the life cycles of the 500-plus species of sharks in our oceans.
• Each time I hear the song Baby Shark, it reminds me there’s a lot more work to do.
