Their eggs are the biggest in the world and they can reach the 30 cm long. Much of their development is not known because the young copies are allowed to very rarely see.
This shark inhabits warm and tropical temperate waters. It is believed that it arrives after a very long migration trip, being identified for the first time in 1828, in the costs of Sudáfrica. Their maximum longitude is ignored but the 18 m can be about it.
