What are wobbegongs?

Wobbegongs are a type of carpet shark, distinctive for their exceptional camouflage and patterns. They are bottom-dwelling sharks, not dangerous to humans unless they are interfered with. Wobbegongs are found mostly in shallow temperate and tropical waters around Australia and Indonesia. Wobbegongs have a unique series of large whisker lobes around their mouths, giving them the appearance of having a beard: their name is derived from an indigenous Australian Word meaning "shaggy beard".
