The swell shark is the largest inhabitant of the Marine Life Exhibit (MLE) within our visitor center. Swell sharks, part of the catshark family, are about 3 feet long. They get their name from their unique defense mechanism. When a swell shark is scared, it sucks up water, causing it to swell to almost double its size. They use this defense mechanism to lodge themselves tightly between rocks, preventing predators from grabbing hold of them. Luckily for our swell shark, there are no predators in

🦈🦈🦈 Swell shark video by Aquarium of the Bay Educator Mariah! These sharks have the ability to swallow enough water to swell to twice their size to discourage predators. "Oh my god, they're so cute!". See if you can find one in our Shark Tunnel when you visit. Support the nonprofit, Green Business Certified, Smithsonian Affiliate Aquarium of the Bay through your ticket purchases and donations. Thank you! #shark #swellshark #aquarium | Aquarium of the Bay

A new addition is coming to the Aquarium! This is a Swell shark egg. You can see the embryo that will develop into a shark. It takes 9-12 months before it will hatch. The Swell shark gets its name from its ability to engulf large amounts of air or water. When a Swell shark senses a predator or threat it will engulf water and bite its tail, swelling up and appearing twice its normal size! #LLPA #Swellshark | The Living Planet Aquarium

🦈 Just in time for Shark Week, we're giving each other high fins to celebrate the hatching of a Swell Shark, a first for the Aquarium! This species is found in cool, deep waters off America's Pacific coast and currently lives in a pair of off-exhibit systems. The Swell Shark's mottled brown coloration belies a super-cool trick, though: biofluorescence! To help see each other in the deep waters they call home, Swell Sharks have specially adapted eyes that filter out certain wavelengths of light.

Did you know baby sharks are called pups? These Swell Sharks pups will grow to be about the size of a small candy bar inside their egg cases and will hatch around the 9 or 12 month mark! Swell Shark pups have large dermal denticles - “shark skin” - on their back to help them push out of their egg case when they are ready to hatch! | Birch Aquarium at Scripps

Explaining The Ocean on Instagram: "In the depths of the Pacific, octopuses and swell sharks share one incredible survival trick — invisibility. When threatened, the swell shark gulps in water (or air) and literally swells up to twice its normal size, lodging itself in rocky crevices. The octopus, on the other hand, uses chromatophores — pigment cells that let it change color, texture, and even reflect light — to vanish completely into its surroundings. Both creatures rely on illusion over aggre
