21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Ocean Carpet
One of the rarest unique-looking sharks to encounter: the wobbegongo, also called a carpet shark due to the shaggy beards that grow around its mouth and the fact that it spends most of its life lying on the ocean floor. In this shot he is portrayed in the typical pose under a coral boulder.
