How are Sharks born?
Baby sharks are called pups. A pup can come into the world in one of three ways:
 from eggs that are laid (like birds)
 from eggs that hatch inside the mother and then are
born
 pup sharks that grow inside the mother (like humans)
A mother shark will look for a safe place where she can lay her eggs or give birth. They do not take care of their young. The babies are born with a full set of teeth and naturally know how to take care of themselves. In fact, babies quickly swim away at birth to avoid being eaten by their own mother!
