Brownbanded Bamboo Sharks (Chiloscyllium punctatum) are a type of bamboo shark known for the dark brown bands that encircle their bodies. These bands tend to fade away into a solid, dark brown as the shark gets older.
This shark is a nocturnal hunter that tends to lie in wait, surprising its victims on the sandy sea floor by using its barbels (located on its snout) to detect prey. This includes small fishes, worms, and crustaceans.
The brownbanded bamboo shark is able to survive out of water for a couple of hours! This, along with its ability to withstand strenuous conditions and its relatively passive nature, makes it a popular animal for aquariums to display.
The brownbanded bamboo shark is edible and often hunted by humans for food. The destruction of their habitats and overfishing of their prey has made it even harder for them to survive, causing their numbers to decrease over time.
More Sharks (with Hats)! A sort of sequel to my previous Sharks with Hats series~
It's amazing how much variety and wonder there is in virtually any animal out there. So great

They're some of the more "suitable" sharks for aquariums thanks to its small size and gentle nature. Being a bamboo shark that lives around tide pools in the wild, they're able to survive 12 hours out of water!
the brownbanded bamboo shark is one of the few shark species that are safe for captivity and pet owning (for expierenced aquarists, obviously). since it ranges at about 41 inches long it is safe to keep in a 180 gal tank along with other fishies. the few challenges to keep in mind is health risks and target feeding.
brownbanded bamboo sharks can be found from anywhere between Japan to the northern areas of Australia. these little guys perfer depths as deep as 275 ft.
they are also referred to as "cat sharks" often due to their markings and whiskers. these whiskers are actually barbels and are sensory organs that are used to help them navigate food.
at younger ages they have bold markings but as they age they will fade. adults are usually grey with black stripey patterns or cream colored with brown stripes.
i love their little faces and how smooth and rounded they seem. very cute species of shark :)!
There only concept art i belive but there worth sharing [also named em cause im going to do stuff with em, crystaline lantern, ghaztly coral, rocky pelt,and sandy dune
Also just for fun i went and fetch some fish species i belive there based one, only the 2th and 4th one tho cause the angler seams to be a generic angler while the 3th one seams to stylize to pin point, i mean theres a ton of brown fish with brown spots stripes white under sides and all but this guy looks like a fucking werewolf with how fuzzy they are its just the fucking sea bear from spongebob
Alessio, Describing his family reef: My mother was a Wobbegong and my father was classified as a Tiger Shark, but my grandpa was an Oceanic White Tip on my father's side. My grams was a tiger shark though, but my other gramma was a Brownbanded Bamboo Shark and- *His voice is overcome by a sound similar to Television static*
Crimson, With a blank but disturbed expression:|>| Oh my fucking Satan why the fuck did I fucking ask I'm so fucking confused about this shark's relatives. How do so many goddamn species fit into one family? This guy should've been deformed as fuck.|<|
Shark and ray genome size estimation: methodological optimization for inclusive and controllable biodiversity genomics
Estimate of nuclear DNA content serves as an independent tool for validating the completeness of whole genome sequences and investigating the among-species variation of genome sizes, but for some species, the requirement of fresh cells makes this tool highly inaccessible. Here we focused on elasmobranch species (sharks and rays), and using flow cytometry or quantitative PCR (qPCR), estimated the nuclear DNA contents of brownbanded bamboo shark, white spotted bamboo shark, zebra shark, small-spotted catshark, sandbar shark, slendertail lanternshark, megamouth shark, red stingray, and ocellate spot skate. Our results revealed their genome sizes spanning from 3.40 pg (for ocellate spot skate) to 13.34 pg (for slendertail lanternshark), in accordance with the huge variation of genome sizes already documented for elasmobranchs. Our improved qPCR-based method enabled accurate genome size estimation without using live cells, which has been a severe limitation with elasmobranchs. These findings and our methodology are expected to contribute to better understanding of the diversity of genome sizes in elasmobranchs even including species with limited availability of fresh tissue materials. It will also help validate the completeness of already obtained or anticipated whole genome sequences. http://dlvr.it/SjzsM6
>You have been hanging out in Nexia all night watching movies and snacking with Gamzee and your alt. He’d just gotten you home when it hits you maybe a little extra hard from the delay.
>You just black out and wake up on the floor half a fish. Your alt takes you back to Nexia again immediately because there is a lagoon there which is much less dangerous and much easier to get to than the sea by your hive.
i REGRET MAKING ANY KIND OF COMMENT ON THE FISH PEOPLE SITUATION,,,,,
