The tasselled wobbegong (Eucrossorhinus dasypogon)
Meet the Tasselled Wobbegong, a bizarre shark named after your favorite sex toy.
Native to the Great Barrier Reef and shallows of the Indonesian island chain, this reclusive shark likes to vibe by itself during the day completely camouflaged and wait for its prey to swim close enough to become a snack.
During the evening, this Real Swim Shady becomes more active and will aggressively hunt for food. When divers see one, if they yell TASSELLED WOBBEGONG three times and do a cartwheel underwater the shark will immediately swim away. This is completely false and absolutely will not work. Due to the sharks aggressive nature and terrible name, there have been numerous reports of attacks on humans resulting in serious injury or death.
