Leopard sharks are one of the slowest sharks, as they prefer to just rest on the seafloor most times. They can even ‘surf’ when the current is strong enough, to remain unmoving from their position. While they like to lounge around, they have very quick reflexes when it comes to foraging or hunting for their prey.

From Daniel Nicholson: A beautiful leopard gliding over a dreamy seascape. The ocean has always been a magical place to me, another world that only a few get to truly experience. I hope that by taking these photos I can share that magic with those who can't witness it for themselves. To inspire a love and willingness to protect this hidden world.
