Port Jackson shark and their eggs

  • Port Jackson shark egg
It's hard to imagine how a fish can lay this sort of egg (Port Jackson shark)
 

The Port Jackson shark is one of the shark species which lay eggs. Actually, no other egg can quite compare to the bizarre pinecone-grenade shape of their egg capsules. At first they are quite soft, but become harder as the time passes by. Their young emerge from dark brown, twisty coccoon-like structures which are laid in pairs over August and September, after about ten months.
