Mating Walking Sharks, first time captured on video! by Anders Peterson and Vincent Chaveriat

“When Anders Peterson (California) and Vincent Chaveriat (France) spotted one walking shark biting the pectoral fin of another walking shark in the shallows of a Bird’s Head Seascape reef, they had a hunch something special was about to happen.  Luckily they had an underwater camera to capture this amazing and rare moment of two walking sharks copulating in the wild.”  To the best of our knowledge this is the first video to capture walking sharks in the act of mating. Thanks for sharing Anders and Vincent!
