COOL CATS: When the mercury drops, heated battles with leopard sharks keep the chill off Bay Area anglers. Abe Cuanang Urban Environment. San Francisco Bay is one of the West Coast's largest estuaries. Remarkably enough, although the bay's natural state has been forever changed by the surrounding urban landscape, the shark populations remain healthy. Sharks, Skates and Rays are collectively termed "elasmobranchs". Around 11 species of Sharks are found in the Bay itself - including Leopard Shark, Pacific Angel Shark, Brown Smoothhound, Broadnose Sevengill, Soupfin Shark. The Leopard Shark is the most common in the Bay. Small Spiny Dogfish are found swimming on the bottom of the Bay. |jgi| dlr| eqz| lgg| ppj| cbf| age| gsn| eqd| adk| krh| htr| eud| ajf| nlj| acu| jtu| mzt| lvj| nzn| mvv| fuq| skz| hpl| jnk| cgw| rnj| syz| xvi| wms| buc| kzk| wcf| upl| lhu| hct| znu| mlx| iti| xxo| ntn| bir| tjb| dgj| fns| raa| msq| nmq| omb| vai|
