Zebra sharks born via artificial insemination at Long Beach aquarium
Two shark pups swim inside a powder blue pool at the Aquarium of the Pacific, snatching bits of squid and shrimp as they circle.
With their speckled skin and torpedo-like shape, they are like any other in their species. But there's something far different about the two young females.
They are the world's first zebra sharks born through artificial insemination, according to aquarium experts.
