Beach-goers in Cape Town, Africa had an unexpected find when they stumbled across a dead shark lying washed close to shore. Upon close inspection, they noticed the shark’s stomach moving, and decided to investigate. They cut open the shark’s abdomen, and found three baby sharks inside.

Those concerned for the infants will be relieved to hear that baby sharks do not remain with their mother’s after the birth, so her premature death should not cause them undue harm.
