Zebra Shark

Australia women's national team · “Matildas” (Australia)

Fun fish fact: young zebra sharks are striped, but the stripes break up into spots as they grow; they live as far south as northern Australia. Football: the Matildas reached the semi-finals of the 2023 Women's World Cup.

A baby zebra shark has stripes, but as it grows up the stripes turn into spots, like changing from a home kit to an away kit. It is a calm, slow shark that rests on the sand all day. It lives as far as northern Australia, home of the Matildas.

On Futbol Island the zebra shark can be caught at:

• Palm Point: A curving beach on Summit Isle’s shore, shaded by a lone dune palm where five boulders break the swell. Shore crabs work the sand between them.

Size on the island: 80–250 cm.
