Shark Production

This entry is specially for Casey and Sue Cing.
Thanks for enquiring whether the Singaporean are trying to "Kang" (cheat) the tourists regarding the shark eggs.
Honestly saying, I did not doubt a bit on it as I saw it and my sister took a photograph on it.
Assumingly, it is REAL.

In order to convince myself and my engineering friends, I dug around and found this.

Unlike most bony fish, shark's eggs are fertilized inside the female's body. The male shark has "claspers," extensions of the pelvic fins that are used to transfer sperm to the female and fertilize her eggs.

Most sharks give birth to live young, but some release eggs that hatch later. The gestation period (the time the embryo spends inside the female, developing) can be up to almost two years long (the spiny dogfish shark may have the longest shark gestation period).

Shark is a fish, thus, it lays egg.
Wait for my Sentosa Island part3 for the dolphin which is definately a mammal. :P
