Congrats Tiago! For today's Spotting of the Day, we're celebrating Shark Week! We head down to Thailand to check out the amazing Zebra Shark. "The Zebra Shark, also known as the Leopard Shark, is a slow-moving and docile creature that comes out at night to feed on mollusks and crustaceans. These beautiful and ancient creatures have lived in the oceans since the last 350 million years. They are now among the many species which are a threatened."
