Description

The spiny dogfish shark, Squalus acanthias, is a marvel of the marine world, thriving in temperate waters globally. Its unique life cycle, with males maturing at around 11 years and females taking almost double that time, showcases the diverse reproductive strategies in the animal kingdom. This viviparous species, giving birth to live young, serves multiple purposes - from food to scientific study.

Despite their global recognition, these baby sharks are not intentionally fished for display. They are often by-products of commercial fishing, especially when female sharks are caught with young ones developing inside.

Our Shark in a Jar is a hit, especially among kids! Preserved in a blend of 30% isopropyl alcohol and 70% water, with a touch of blue dye for that deep-sea allure, it's more than just a specimen. It's a piece of educational decor that sparks curiosity and wonder. Dive into the world of sharks with this captivating piece.

Better lid?

Posted by Unknown on Sep 13th 2021

My son was so absolutely thrilled with his shark in a jar and carried him from his room to the den as it was always with him. Unfortunately he dropped the jar, and while the glass stayed perfectly in tact, the plastic lid cracked. Devastation ensued. I was just thinking if there are any more durable lids that can be used on the jars?

Exactly like shone

The shark was just as expected. It was well-packed and in good condition. It was a nice little shark. The blue water makes it more realistic, but it makes it a little harder to see. We had one that was clear and it was easier to see the shark. However, this was exactly as advertised and it came quickly. The company keeps you posted on every detail. It was out the door the same day I ordered it. I am pleased with the purchase and my grandson is happy with it.

My shark was confiscated out of my checked luggage at the airport. Unimaginable to me that they thought the liquid was hazmat ! So I searched around and bought yours. Just what I wanted.

It was exactly as promised. It was delivered promptly and was very well packaged. I was a little dubious of receiving a box with liquid leaking out of it, but it came in perfect condition and was my daughter's favorite Christmas gift.
