Wobbegong

Wobbegong

Having a flat, heavy body and broad head, this shark blends in perfectly with the seabed environment. Pieces of skin lie in flaps about the woddegong's head and mouth giving the appearance of seaweed. With this cunning disguise the wobbegong waits for its unsuspecting prey rather then using speed to catch prey as most sharks do. Wobbegongs come in many different colours but generally have a ground colour of brown, yellow and grey. [BM] {FW}
