"A ""Wobbegong"" is a type of what?"
Wobbegong hang on and can be very difficult to remove. There are many more instances of unprovoked attacks on wobbegongs: in Australia, the flesh of wobbegongs and other shark species is called flake and it is often the "fish" component of fish and chips. Wobbegong skin is also used to make leather. Although most wobbegong species are unsuitable for home aquaria due to their large adult size, this has not stopped some of the larger species from being sold in the aquarium trade. Small wobbegong species, such as the tasselled wobbegong and Ward's wobbegong, are "ideal" sharks for home aquarists to
Tasselled wobbegong for this species, derived from the Greek "eu" ("good"), "krossoi" ("tassel") and "rhinos" ("nose"). Regan subsequently reconsidered the main trait he used to separate "Eucrossorhinus" (the spacing of the fourth and fifth gill slits) and synonymized it with "Orectolobus". Later authors have placed the tasselled wobbegong either in its own genus or in "Orectolobus". Other common names for this species are bearded wobbegong and Ogilby's wobbegong. Morphological studies have been inconclusive about the evolutionary relationships of the tasselled wobbegong, but overall have gauged it to be among the more derived wobbegong (Orectolobidae) species.
