First Ever Photo Of A Shark Giving Birth?

Attila Kaszo, a photographer on Dr. Simon Oliver's research team from the University of Chester, may have snapped the first ever photo of a thresher shark giving birth, BBC reported. In fact, the photo may be "the first record of any oceanic species giving birth," according to Dr. Oliver.

"We were unable to decipher the cause of the shark’s distress from our observation post 15 meters away, although it was evident that cleaner wrasse were taking bites from its pelvic region. We observed the shark for a total of 4 minutes, during which we took its photograph for identification purposes," Oliver wrote in the journal Coral Reefs. "Later, when we processed the photograph for analysis, it revealed the head of a pup emerging from the shark’s cloaca."
