Circling like buzzards, the Flying Sharks of Zonardia are particularly common over Earwig Country, circling and searching for prey. Able to smell blood on the wind for over three miles they converge on spilled blood, fighting amongst themselves and whipping the region into a feeding frenzy of diving and swarming sharks.
Flying Sharks are naturally buoyant and therefore merely use their fins and tail to direct their motion, but it is entirely possible for a flying shark to rest in mid air. Given their frenetic hunting and feeding habits, the flying sharks have adapted to conserve as much energy as possible. As a result the sharks sleep for as must as 5/6ths of a day, often in floating packs known as Shark Shards, which can be seen as vaguely ominous black clumps against a clear sky.
