🦈Leopard shark
Leopardihai (Triakis semifasciata) on pienehkö (keskimäärin 1,5 metriä pitkä) hailaji, jota tavataan Tyynessämeressä Pohjois-Amerikan rannikolla hiekka- ja mutapohjaisissa vesissä 6–90 metrin syvyydessä. Se liikkuu pohjan lähistöllä, mutta on aktiivisempi kuin esimerkiksi merienkeli.
