Wobbegong is the common name given to the 12 species of carpenter sharks

living in the tropical waters of the Western Pacific Ocean and the Eastern Indonesian ocean.

They hide among rocks and catch small fishes that swim too close to them.

The word Wobbegong is believed to be “shaggy beard” in Australian Aborigonal language.

The biggest types are the Spotted and Banded Wobbegongs.

Spotted and Banded Wobbegongs can reach 3 metres in length and

others are about 1.25 metres in length.
