A grey nurse shark, seen from the side, moving toward the right side of the photo, taken at Underwater World in Moololaba, Queensland, Australia.

In a very strange practice known as intrauterine cannibalism, the young sharks inside the mother's body eat each other to survive until they are born.

A grey nurse shark, seen from the side, taken at Underwater World in Moololaba, Queensland, Australia.
