This planet is so beautiful and wonderful. And underneath its waters is an entirely different world, full of wild and majestic creatures just like the Tasselled Wobbegong here. I pray that we act quick enough on our climate initiatives to save these things for the future.
I want one! What kinda food do I get? 🥰
I keep reading it as woebegone.
Is it wearing a gilly suit?
Basically. They’re ambush hunters that pop up and snatch/vacuum prey into their maws. I recall the tassels are also attractive to fish that look for food in the sand, but don’t quote me on that.

Least annoying video I could find in a few seconds.
The tasselled wobbegong has been reported to bite and kill humans unprovoked
hol’ up
UNPROMPTED
With several records of apparently unprovoked attacks on people, the tasselled wobbegong has a reputation beyond other wobbegongs for aggressive behavior.
Is such a fucking funny sentence to me.
Unless it sings a happy song teaching me letters or numbers, I’m out.

But do you think it has cute babies?
That’s a goosefish.
Yer a goosefish!
