What is a baby shark called?

A baby shark, often referred to as a pup, is a young shark that is typically born live rather than hatched from an egg. Baby sharks are born fully formed and are usually able to swim and hunt for themselves shortly after birth. Depending on the species, baby sharks can range in size from a few inches to a few feet long.

Baby sharks often stay close to their mother for protection and guidance in the early stages of their life. They may also form schools with other young sharks for added safety. As they grow, baby sharks will begin to venture out on their own and develop their hunting and survival skills.

Some common species of baby sharks include the great white shark, hammerhead shark, and lemon shark. Baby sharks are important to the health of ocean ecosystems, as they help regulate prey populations and maintain the balance of marine life.
