You may see the most beautiful fish in your life.. This is what a zebra shark looks like

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - The underwater worlds are home to many amazing and predatory creatures, where only the lucky get the chance for encounters that may happen once in a lifetime. Although sharks may be considered frightening by some, one species is not only peaceful but also one of the most beautiful types of sharks, namely the zebra shark.

This peaceful marine creature, unlike its relatives, is characterized by its body covered with many black spots, and it got its name from its appearance, which resembles that of a zebra. The underwater diver and photographer, Terence Tong, documented the zebra shark in the depths of the sea off the far east of Australia.

Tong says to Afaq News in Arabic, "The zebra shark, which is sometimes known in Australia as the leopard shark, is one of the most visually distinctive sharks." In addition to its striking shape, this shark can pump water over its gills, which means it does not have to swim in order to breathe, unlike other species of sharks.

Tong described the experience of free diving with the zebra shark as "amazing," noting that it was an experience that had been on his wish list for some time. He confirmed through his experience that the zebra shark does not pose a threat to humans, and contrary to expectations, they are extremely shy creatures and are not bothered by the presence of humans beside them at all.

This distinctive species of tiger shark can be found throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The main challenges Tong faced while filming were capturing the best angle of the zebra shark.

Tong said: "I wanted to make sure I captured one of its sides, so I could show the exciting spots and colors that cover its body." The other challenge was the fact that this creature does not stay in one place for long.

So Tong had to find a suitable location to capture the best shot. The zebra shark was once a widely distributed species in tropical waters around the world, but it has recently been highlighted as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species.
