Shark & Rocky Reef - Monterey Bay Aquarium, California, USA

Sharks glide past the glass all day long in the Monterey Bay Habitats exhibit at Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, a 90-foot (27 m) hourglass-shaped tank built with sharks in mind.

Sevengill sharks, spotted leopard sharks and small spiny dogfish turn slow laps, bat rays and big skates flap past the window, sturgeon cruise by, and giant sea bass rest near the rocky reef.

The hardest one to find is the Pacific angel shark, which lies so flat and well hidden on the sandy floor that most visitors walk right past it. Every animal in the tank also lives in the cold waters of Monterey Bay, just outside the aquarium walls. The cam is live during the aquarium's daytime hours.

Did You Know? Most sharks have five gill slits on each side. Sevengill sharks have seven - a trait from one of the oldest shark families still alive today.
