Epaulette Shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum) is a species of carpet shark longtailed, Hemiscylliidae family, found in shallow, tropical waters of Australia and New Guinea (and possibly elsewhere). The common name of this shark comes from the place, a huge black and white-margined behind each pectoral fin, reminiscent of military epaulettes. A small species usually below 1 m (3.3 ft) long.
