The Australian Epaulette Shark, also known as the Walking Shark, is a small, slender-bodied shark that belongs to the family Hemiscylliidae. It is found in shallow waters off the coast of Australia, primarily in coral reefs and tide pools. The Australian Epaulette Shark has a brownish-gray body with darker markings on its back and sides. It has large eyes and a flattened head with a broad mouth. Its most distinctive feature is its ability to “walk” along the ocean floor using its pectoral and pelvic fins. This is possible due to the presence of modified fins that allow it to move in a manner similar to a land animal. This species is primarily nocturnal and feeds on small invertebrates, such as crustaceans and mollusks. It is a popular aquarium species, but it requires a specialized setup and diet. As an expert-only species, it should only be kept by experienced aquarists who can provide the necessary care.
