Leopard sharks

As most of you might know, Selina is a "real" biologist who has studied entire animals, behavior etc. With that in mind I decided to show her the leopard sharks in La Jolla shores. It was just amazing! As soon as you are in knee deep water you are surrounded by leopard sharks. They are pretty small (1.5m) and have a beautiful pattern. When you wait long enough one will eventually bumb into you (for the ones who know the Crameri shark story: we were not hurt...). There must be hundreds of sharks close to the shore. Moreover, there are a lot of guitarfish and rays swimming with the sharks. Soon they will leave, as they come only for mating.
