Urolophus viridis
The Green Wobbegong is a small ray with a bright green upper body. It lives in coastal waters of southeastern Australia, has a venomous spine on its tail, and gives birth to live young.
The Green Wobbegong stands out with its bright green back coloration, which helps it hide among algae and on the seabed. It is important for nature as a predator that controls the population of small invertebrates on the ocean floor.
