David Shiffman has spent his life saving sharks. Isn’t it time he did so in style?

In case you didn’t know, we’re running a crowdfunding campaign to Buy shark conservation legend David Shiffman a less ugly pair of sunglasses (and also to support some amazing shark conservation programs. So head on over to our Indiegogo page, where you can find some excellent perks, like 3D printed megalodon teeth!

Ornate Wobbegong | Orectolobus ornatus   - - more types of Wobbegong sharks here

"A nocturnal, bottom-dwelling species, the ornate wobbegong rests during the day, in caves, under ledges formed by coral reefs, and in trenches. At nightfall, this species commences hunting for its preferred prey of fish and marine invertebrates, such as octopi and cuttlefish. The striking colouration of the body provides excellent camouflage amongst fronds of algae and coral, and enables this shark to employ a sit-and-wait ambush strategy. The barbels around the mouth are used as lures to attract prey, which when in range, is quickly snapped in the powerful jaws. While smaller prey is immediately swallowed whole, larger animals may be held in the jaws, sometimes for days, impaled on the fang-like teeth. Once dead, the prey can then be swallowed without a struggle."  x

Think this isn't a shark? WELL YOU'RE WRONG. IT'S A SHARK.
