Shark born in Florida science classroom

Sat, 15/05/2010 - 12:44 by Pankaj Damin

Sarasota, Fla. -- A marine science class at a Florida high school has a new mascot -- a baby shark that hatched from an egg in the classroom, school officials say.

The baby cat shark, which could grow to 4 feet in length, emerged from its egg sack in March at Riverview High School, the Sarasota (Fla.) Herald Tribune reported Thursday.

Cat sharks are native to tropical waters in the Caribbean and named for their cat-like eyes and whiskers.

Teacher Katrin Rudge said she brought the egg sack into the classroom to provide a learning experience for both herself and her students, the newspaper said.
"This has been a real experiment for us," Rudge said. "But it's been a good way to instill in them what different things are out there."
