Three endangered species zebra sharks have been successfully bred by the theme park Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, south China's Guangdong Province, in this year, informed The Xinhua News Agency.

The zebra sharks, or stegostoma fasciatum, were born this year. Their bodies have grown to 100-150 centimeters long and weigh around 300 to 400 grams. Their physical indicators are now in the normal range.

In 2020, the theme park bred two zebra sharks for the first time.

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature listed zebra sharks as endangered species worldwide in 2015.
