" Flying with Wobbegong sharks " //© Marcelo Johan Ogata
" Living up to 25 years, Carpet sharks can grow up to 3m long and weight up to 70kgs. Smart and ambush predators spending most of their lives laying on the floor waiting for animals to swim by, with strong jaws they will suck in and swallow victims whole! Wobbegongs aren’t dangerous to humans and actually quite docile really. "

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Although they may appear to give birth to live young like a mammal, whale sharks are actually ovoviviparous meaning that they fertilize and hatch their eggs internally. A single mother can produce up to 300 eggs, and each one is 30 cm (12 in.) long-- twice the size of an ostrich egg!

Took the noodles on a little stroll
Often, they did not agree on which direction we should be going
And sometimes the world can be too much to handle

Creature Awaits #226
Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God's fantastic artistry. Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )
(Endearing capture taken by Paul Korecky (CC BY-SA 2.0))
The Tasselled Wobbegong
Scientific Name: Eucrossorhinus dasypogon
Region: Shallow reefs lining northern Australia, New Guinea, the Aru Islands and Waigeo
Size: Up to 5'10" (~1.8m) long
Interesting Notes: This unique and beautiful carpet shark rests camouflaged against coral reefs along the sea floor with its tail curled under ledges and in caves during the day, although it may ambush unsuspecting passersby should the opportunity arise. At night it more actively hunts its favored prey among crustaceans, cephalopods and fish - luring many to their feasted-on fate by slowly waving the end of its tail like a small fish.

Starmites and the kinds of sharks I think they'd be. Sometimes explanations are given.
Milady: leopard shark (the ground shark one, not the carpet shark)
Spacepunk: whale shark. Friend shaped.
Ack ack: shortfin mako. They look like they would have the same attitude.
S'up s'up: blue shark. He's blue.
Diggety: coral catshark. Just vibes.
Diva: great white. Great white have diva vibes and vice versa.
Bizarbara: angular roughshark. It looks scared.
All banshees: horn sharks or carpet sharks. I know this is really broad but shhhh. Shotzi specifically is a zebra shark.
Trinkulus: gulper shark. They're kinda ugly, but in a endearing way. (I can't think any shark is ugly they're all perfect okay)
Shak graa: giant guitarfish. OKAY this one is actually part of the rays and skates BUT it's a guitar. The cruelty!
Oragala: megalodon. I don't actually remember why this is it. Probably because it's extinct and oragala is a god? Kinda the same idk.
Mother/father: porbeagal shark. It looks like the guy who was father in the show I was in. @daweirdo-applhead. You but a shark.
Anyway, I'm a nerd.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Don’t step on this carpet-- it just might bite back! Carpet sharks are masters of camouflage, spending hours lying on the ocean floor waiting for unsuspecting prey to pass by. These sharks are also known as Wobbegong sharks-- the word Wobbegong is thought to come from the Australian Aboriginal language Dharug and means ‘shaggy beard’ referring to the tassels lining its mouth.
