The Walking Shark Yes, you read that right, this is the incredible Epaulette Shark that can walk. Their fins enable them to “walk” along the seabed floor, over corals, and even over land. They use this special superpower to move between rock pools at low tide to feed on trapped small fish and invertebrates, their fins allowing them to boldly go where no other predators are able to. They are the perfect little predators on a coral reef. 🎥 Master Reef Guide Maddi on Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort

Meet the epaulette shark, a small but remarkable species found on shallow reef flats of the Great Barrier Reef. Known for their ability to “walk” across sand and coral using their fins, these sharks can survive in low-oxygen conditions by slowing their heartbeat—an adaptation that helps them thrive in tidal pools. Their name comes from the distinctive black spot behind each pectoral fin, resembling a military epaulette. A military epaulette is a type of ornamental shoulder decoration worn as par

Did you know? Epaulette sharks, also known as walking sharks, can walk on land using their well-developed fins! If you consider the environments that these sharks live in, which are shallow, narrow coral reef systems, it's easy to see how the ability to walk would benefit them. Evolutionary changes to their pectoral and pelvic fins have increased their strength and range of motion, so that they can navigate cracks and crevices and crannies to sniff out favorite foods like shellfish, worms, and s

Tulip on Instagram: "Thank you for giving the epaulette shark a pet! 🦈🫶🫵 A pet for the epaulette! I like that it almost sounds like a rhyme 😌🎶 One of my favourite features about them is their beautiful pattern, especially one pattern that especially resembles a googly eye! Also I’d only recently learnt that they can walk using their fins too! All the unique shapes of the horseshoe crab and the epaulette shark made them a delight to draw. I imagine that even a random doodle, any shape, would
