Eucrossorhinus Orectolobus Sutorectus Wobbegong is the common name given to the 12 species of carpet sharks in the family Orectolobidae.

The word wobbegong is believed to come from an Australian Aboriginal language, meaning "shaggy beard", referring to the growths around the mouth of the shark of the western Pacific.

Wobbegongs make use of their camouflage to hide among rocks and catch smaller fish which swim too close, typical of ambush predators.

Wobbegongs also have a powerful jaw with needle-like teeth that assist in catching reef fish and other sharks for food.

[2] Wobbegongs are generally not considered dangerous to humans,[3] but have attacked swimmers, snorkelers, and scuba divers who inadvertently come close to them.
