The Lovable Japanese Wobblegong♡☆♡

The Japanese Wobblegong (Scientific name: Orectolobus Japonicus) is a sluggish shark that hunts at night, otherwise known as nocturnal!(just like me fr fr) Currently, their conservation status is Least Concern (another shark W) They tend to be in the western, tropical parts of the pacific ocean, this includes many Asian countries such as the phillipines! Despite being sluggish, they're big brain, and use their camophague to hunt down and ambush their prey!

As for their reproductive system, they are viviparous, meaning they give birth to live young! This spotty creature gives birth to about 20 pups per litter (that's painful, probably)

On a scale of 1-10, I give it a 9 because I couldn't find much info on them :( (where the shark researchers at)

I want one of Law’s crew members to be called Woebegone, and they’d belong to the family of wobbegong sharks (carpet sharks). Pronunciation is different, but you know. All but Penguin have Japanese names though, so I dunno if it would ever happen.

There is a Japanese variety though. This is Oose (Oh-seh. オオセ) in Japanese, or Japanese wobbegong, Orectolobus japonicus.

I kinda like this guy too though:

The Tasselled wobbegong.

And the things you learn. I thought it was an Australian name, but even more from Wikipedia:

The wobbegong is the common name given to the 12 species of carpet sharks in the family Orectolobidae. ... The word wobbegong is believed to come from an Australian Aboriginal language, meaning "shaggy beard", referring to the growths around the mouth of the shark of the western Pacific.

It’s very cool that the name covers all twelve species, cos’ they’re not all Australian. 

PS: It’s funny that woebegone means someone who’s miserable rather than someone who has expelled woe. I take it that ‘begone’ acts like an infliction here. Yup, used to mean ‘beset’. Another thing I’ve now learnt.
