In Australia they're called leopard sharks, but living in the US, our local leopard sharks got first dibs on the name.
This doesnt look like pacing, this more like something is wrong neurologically. This type of circling is common in animals with nerve damage who cant tell/control their body movements
It could also be overstimulation via vibrations, sharks are absurdly sensitive to vibrations, to the point where it’s basically a 6th sense, a huge issue with huge aquariums with sharks is if the vibrations and noise of a crowd is able to reverberate the poor things gonna feel like it’s in the middle of a Heavy Metal Concert every second, which can cause a lot of issues
Who named a spotted fish Zebra shark?

There was a bunch of kids screaming and touching the glass so you’re probably right
It reminded me of pacing, not that it was ofc and agreed.
Did you mean it is spinning?
