[3] The taxon of the zebra bullhead shark is small but has had a fossil record that has been traced back closely to the beginning of the Mesozoic era.

[3] However, due to the unique and attractive color pattern of these sharks they are a part of the aquarium trade around the world.

[4] The prey they feed on can be found in rocky reefs and kelp forests where zebra bullhead sharks live.

[3] There are five large gill openings slightly in front of pectoral-fin mid-bases on the side of these sharks heads.

[5] Along with this, these organisms have a range of large to small vertical markings from the snout to the caudal fin of brown and black color.

A female shark lays two eggs at a time during the spring to the later summer near the coast of Japan.

[4] The zebra bullhead sharks are characterized by slow growth which makes it difficult to cultivate them in the laboratory.

[3] Conservation efforts have been put in place to limit the impact of humans on the zebra bullhead sharks.

Laws have been put in place on the coasts of Asia in order to protect this species and its closest relatives.

[6] Although the zebra bullhead shark is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN's Red list[1] there is little information provided to fully understand the impact humans are having on these organisms.
