one of the most annoying types of posts is the “I freaking love weird-looking animals” post where the pic is not of the animal being described. I also love weird-looking animals (and am one), but that’s not a shark.
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.
