EDITORS COMMENTS
Say cheese! A tiny Lesser Spotted Dogfish strikes a pose in the palm of a curious beachgoer at Kimmeridge Bay. This adorable juvenile, with its sleek body and mischievous eyes, seems to be enjoying all the attention it's getting from us humans. It's like holding a real-life mini shark in your hands! The Isle of Purbeck has truly become the playground for these young European nature enthusiasts. With their small size and spotted patterns resembling those of cats, they've earned themselves the nickname 'cat sharks'. These little guys are quite common along the British coastlines, but seeing one up close is always an exciting encounter. As summer heats up, so does their playful energy. They dart through the temperate waters of the Atlantic Ocean, exploring every nook and cranny they can find. And lucky for them, this particular dogfish found itself being gently cradled by a fascinated human. This snapshot captures not only a beautiful moment between man and marine life but also highlights our connection to the underwater world that surrounds us. So next time you're strolling along Dorset's stunning coastline, keep an eye out for these pint-sized wonders - who knows? You might just get to hold one yourself!
