It is found along the Pacific coast of North America, from the U.S. state of Oregon to Mazatlán in Mexico. Typically measuring 1.2–1.5 m (3.9–4.9 ft) long, this slender-bodied shark is immediately identifiable by the striking pattern of black saddle-like markings and large spots over its back, from which it derives its common name. Large schools of leopard sharks are a common sight in bays and estuaries, swimming over sandy or muddy flats or rock-strewn areas near kelp beds and reefs. They are most common near the coast, in water less than 4 m (13 ft) deep. . #LeopardSharksSeria #ZebraSharksSeria #StegostomaFasciatumSeria , or the #TigerSharkSeria , #GaleocerdoCuviersSeria . #09May2018seria #09MaySeria #2018MaySeria #2018WesnesdaySeria #WednesdayMaySeria #WednesdaySeria (Shark-Society)
