wobbegong - n., any of several species of Australian carpet sharks.


Yes, that's right, bottom-dwelling sharks are called carpet sharks. Srsly. These are one particular genus of particularly well-camouflaged ones, who sometimes get stepped on by divers. The name is believed to be taken from an Aboriginal language, sometime around 1852.
