The Spotted Wobbegong is a bottom-dwelling shark with a flat body and a spotted pattern. It lives off the coasts of Australia and hunts from ambush on the seabed.
The Spotted Wobbegong differs from other sharks by its flat body and excellent camouflage. It is important for nature as a predator that helps maintain the balance of fish and invertebrate populations on the seabed.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
