Port Jackson shark

Heterodontus portusjacksoni

Description

The Port Jackson Shark has a blunt head with a small mouth and prominent crests above its eyes. It is usually a light gray brown, with black bands over its eyes and across its back in a harness shape. Unlike most sharks, the Port Jackson can eat and breathe at the same time, and they use their unique teeth to grind up crustaceans and mollusks.
