Epaulette shark chillaxin' off Heron Island 🌴 This species of longtail carpet shark can walk on land! In order to successfully navigate through shallow and complex coral reef systems while pursuing prey, they evolved the ability to walk on their pectoral fins across a reef or sea floor 😮 🦈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @johnny_gaskell | Ocean Conservation Research - OCR

Fantastic sea creatures -------Carpet Shark🦈 🐠Orectolobiformes, also known as carpet sharks, are a diverse of sharks characterized for having two dorsal fins, five gill slits, and relatively short mouths. Several species have barbels and some have intricate carpet-like patterns, which give this order its nickname. Orectolobiformes range in size from just over 30 cm, like some species of @carpet shark, to the whale shark, the largest fish in the ocean, which can be up to 14 m long.🍀 | Hygger A
