🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈
Spotted Wobbegong Shark- Wobbegong might sound like something out of a Dr. Seuss book, but it is a real word. It comes from a native Australian word that means “shaggy beard”. In Australia, wobbegong sharks are lovingly called “wobbies”.
"Shaggy beard" is an apt description because wobbegong sharks do look like they have a beard. They have whiskers (called barbels) around their noses, and flaps of skin that look like tiny fins around their mouths and eyes and on the sides of their heads.
