Did you know that leopard sharks sink unless they’re swimming? Fortunately, being close to the bottom is a good thing, since these sharks like to graze the seafloor for crabs, clam siphons, fish eggs, and the burrowing, hot-dog-shaped fat innkeeper worm. Learn more about these fascinating animals at Shark Days February 11-12!

Apparently this is Prince Axel’s Wonderfish. I’m curious what makes it a wonderfish…(and when Axel became a prince?) though it does look pretty weird.
I think it kind of suits Axel to have such a strange fish named after him.
(I’ll answer some more questions soon!)
