A Wobbegong shark surveys the Great Barrier Reef this afternoo | Awesome Science
A Wobbegong shark surveys the Great Barrier Reef this afternoon looking for its next meal or somewhere to have a nap. These carpet sharks use their coloration as camouflage and are experts at ambushing prey. Wobbegongs are bottom-dwelling sharks, spending much of their time resting on the sea floor. Most species have a maximum length of 1.25 m (4.1 ft), but the largest, the spotted wobbegong, Orectolobus maculatus, reaches about 3 m (9.8 ft) in length.
