Nature Ramble

This week not so much of a ramble again. We’re going diving.

Everybody knows about sharks, big fearsome things with lots of teeth and a bad attitude.

Our idea of sharks is pretty much this…

A bad attitude with teeth

But most people don’t know that there are many types of shark, here’s a few that are not so well known.

Angel Sharks (Squatina squatina)

Horn Shark (Heterodontus francisci)

Great Hammerhead Shark (Sphyrna mokarran)

Basking Shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Sawshark (Pristiophorus japonicus-opencago)

Wobbegong or Carpet Sharks (Orectolobidae)

Goblin Shark (Mitsukurina owstoni)

Frilled Shark (Chlamydoselachus anguineus)
