How to cut shark umbilical cord

Under normal circumstances, after sharks give birth to young sharks, the umbilical cord will naturally break. If a shark gives birth to a young shark, it is necessary to cut the umbilical cord of the young shark. Under normal circumstances, sharks will bite the umbilical cord of young sharks by themselves, but if sharks don't bite it, they need to be treated in time, otherwise it may lead to infection and death. The treatment method is as follows:

1. Disinfect tools with disinfectant: disinfect tools such as scissors or thread trimmers with disinfectant first to avoid infection.

2. Cut the umbilical cord: cut the umbilical cord of the small shark, generally about 1-2 cm away from the body of the small shark.

3. Disinfect the wound: disinfect the umbilical cord wound of the shark with disinfectant to avoid infection.

4. Observe the small shark: After cutting the umbilical cord, observe the situation of the small shark to ensure its normal growth and development.

It should be noted that you should be careful when handling the umbilical cord of the little shark to avoid hurting the little shark. At the same time, if you are not sure how to deal with it, it is recommended to consult a professional.

Cartilaginous fish, such as sharks, reproduce by viviparous (viviparous without placenta), in which the embryo develops in the egg and the egg remains in the mother until it is ready to hatch. Similar to viviparous sharks, viviparous sharks are fertilized in vivo, and the young fish are born alive, but the difference is that there is no placental connection, and the unborn young fish are nourished by yolk, while the female shark's body provides gas exchange (breathing).
