This is week three of the project and the Bamboo shark embryo has grown. The eyes are defined and the head section is larger – large gill strands. The body is thick, the mouth underneath is formed and the tail has developed the fins. You can notice the difference when compared to the video from just two weeks ago when I first started the project.

This is a work in progress and I plan on documenting the whole event as it happens over the next few months. The whole process takes about 150 days from egg production to new born. As the baby shark matures I will research and prepare some supporting videos for you to view on the overall life cycle of the Banded Bamboo Shark. Stay tuned, this is going to be a very cool event. The wonders of nature as it unfolds.
