A leopard shark is bred to feed on the seafloor, and this is how it is done. The mouth of this creature is located on the flat underside of its head and opens downward. Juvenile leopard sharks skim the sand surface for food. Leopard sharks eat crabs, clam siphons, fish eggs, and the burrowing, hot dog-shaped fat innkeeper worm, among other prey, for their meal.
