Surf's Up Down Under - Catching Waves with the Epaulette Shark!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this incredible snapshot captured by FLPA/Malcolm Schuyl, we witness a true Aussie water enthusiast in action - the Epaulette Shark! This adult beauty is seen gracefully swimming through shallow waters during low tide off the coast of Queensland, Australia. With its sleek body and striking ocellated pattern, this shark effortlessly glides through the crystal-clear ocean as if it were born to surf. Known for their unique ability to walk on their pectoral fins when navigating shallow reefs, these sharks are truly nature's acrobats. As November brings warmer temperatures and perfect beach weather to Australia's coastline, our Epaulette Shark takes full advantage of the inviting tidal pools. With every wave that gently crashes against its dorsal fin, you can almost hear it whispering "Cowabunga!" in pure excitement. This magnificent creature belongs to a family of predators known as carpet sharks or bamboo sharks due to their distinctive patterns resembling woven mats or bamboo shoots. But don't be fooled by their elegant appearance – they are skilled hunters lurking beneath the surface. So next time you find yourself strolling along an Australian beach at low tide, keep your eyes peeled for these charismatic swimmers. And who knows? You might just witness another epic surfing session from our favorite aquatic daredevil – the Epaulette Shark!
