A pair of zebra shark pups have gone on display in Georgia Aquarium's Learning Loop. The 2 pups a male and female were the first pups to hatch from a total of viable 13 eggs laid last year. The fate of the pups is currently unknown. They may be placed on display in the giant Ocean Voyager tank or may be sent to another aquarium seeking to display the species.Zebra sharks get their name from the dark markings on young sharks. Adult animals loose the strong black striping in favor of a lighter patern of spots on a white background.
