🦈Blue shark

Prionace glauca (Linnaeus, 1758)

청새리상어(영어: Blue Shark, 학명: Prionace glauca 프리오나케 글라우카[*])는 흉상어목 흉상어과에 속하는 상어이다. 온대와 열대 해역 깊숙한 곳에 서식한다. 시원한 물을 선호하여 긴 거리(예컨대 뉴잉글랜드에서 아르헨티나)를 회유한다. 평소에는 별로 활발하지 못하지만, 빨리 움직일 때는 매우 빨리 움직인다. 청새리상어는 태생이며 한 배에 25 ~ 100 마리의 새끼를 친다. 주로 작은 물고기와 오징어류를 먹고 살지만, 더 큰 먹이도 잡을 수 있다. 청새리상어는 성별과 몸집에 따라 구별되어 군영을 한다. 이러한 습성 때문에 “바다의 늑대”라는 별명이 붙었다. 최대 수명은 아직 밝혀지지 않았지만, 적어도 20년은 더 사는 것으로 생각된다.
