Does anyone have a good reference on the behavior of pregnant nursesharks? On one of my recent Cozumel dives, the DM pointed out a pregnant female under a ledge. When we got back on the boat he told me the pregnant female finds a "nest" and stays there for two weeks until the pups are born. Apparently, she doesn't even leave to hunt/eat the entire time. I'm trying to find out more info on this, as well as what happens to the pups. I'd really like to see a pic of some pups if someone has one. I heard they can have up to 30 at one time. Thanks
