The Shark That Walks 🦈

What happens

On the reefs of Raja Ampat, the kids play keepy-ups on the sandy sea floor. A spotty little shark walks along on its fins like legs, a giant clam opens and closes its wavy blue lips, a tiny pink seahorse bobs nearby, and a flat 'rug' turns out to be a wobbegong shark.

Fun facts

• Epaulette sharks can walk on the sea floor using their fins!
• Raja Ampat has more kinds of coral than almost anywhere else on Earth.
• Wobbegongs are called carpet sharks because they lie flat on the sea floor.
