Nurse Sharks Mating - Dry Tortugas

You've seen sharks make movies and you may have seen them in the wild, but have you ever seen sharks mate? Few people have. Wild Chronicles follows National Geographic's Crittercam® team headed for the south coast of Florida for an intimate encounter with one of the ocean's most successful predators. With many shark populations plummeting, researchers hope Crittercam's® shark-eye view of an underwater mating extravaganza will reveal their mating mysteries while there is still time to make a difference.

@jenn8jenn8 The male shark will bite the fin of the female so she dosent escape, its called a love bite. The male and female will get into a position where the male can insert one or both of his claspers into the females cloaca for mateing, then the male will pump sperm down his clasper into the females cloaca where the sperm will fertilise the eggs. To learn more about how sharks work and live go to my youtube channel sporeking5, its all sharks 24/7!

By biting on eachothers fins'? o.o

grip of the female? :O

Ya, thanks Nat Geo... I couldn't get the Nurse Shark biologists on camera because they are afraid the press would "twist their words" they said this was cut this to look "violent"; I see now what they mean.

PS rough sex CAN be a beautiful thing, next time you might want to re-think your approach.
