Just like other carpet sharks, such as the wobbegong shark, the leopard shark has a flat belly, an elongated upper tail fin and its mouth in front of its small eyes. The brown leopard-like spots on its back and sides make it hard to confuse this shark with any other shark species."

Sharks Win in New York but Lose in Texas

"New York politicians voted last month to ban all commerce related to shark fin products. The bill now awaits the governor's signature before New York becomes the eighth U.S. state to instigate a ban. But in Texas, a similar ban was passed in the state's House of Representatives but received insufficient support to go forward for a Senate vote. Senators said that while shark finning is already against federal law, fishermen should remain able to sell any parts of sharks which are brought ashore whole. As it stands, general trade in shark fin products, whether caught in legal fashion by Texan fisheries or imported from abroad, still remains legal in that state for the time being."
