The Epaulette Shark is a small species of shark found in the shallow waters of the western Pacific and Indian Oceans. It is known for its distinctive markings, which resemble epaulettes or shoulder decorations. This shark typically grows to about 3.5 feet in length and is often found in coral reefs and sandy bottoms. One of the unique features of the Epaulette Shark is its ability to "walk" on land using its pectoral fins. This adaptation allows it to move between tide pools and shallow areas during low tide. The shark primarily feeds on small fish and invertebrates, making it an important part of its ecosystem.
