The tiny Epaulette shark is a relatively new discovery, but one that is unique in its style and method of movement.
The “walking” shark, rather than swim around to gather prey, walks across the bottom, using its fins to take it where it wants to go.
The walking shark moves by propelling itself with its fins across the bottom of the water body
Discovered only in 2006 in Indonesia. It is believed to be an entirely new species of shark and one that is well worth exploration, living as it does in only a few restricted areas.
