‘Walking’ sharks, also known as bamboo sharks or longtail carpet sharks, belong to the family Hemiscylliidae in the shark order Orectolobiformes.

Rather than swim, these slender-bodied sharks ‘walk’ by wriggling their bodies and pushing with their pectoral and pelvic fins.

They are relatively small, with the largest species measuring about 48 inches (1.22 m). The newly discovered species, called Hemiscyllium halmahera, reaches 28 inches (70 cm) in length.

Dr Allen’s team caught two specimens of Hemiscyllium halmahera near the island Ternate, the Maluku Islands, Indonesia.

“Its features include a general brown coloration with numerous clusters of mainly 2-3 dark polygonal spots, widely scattered white spots in the matrix between dark clusters, relatively few (less than 10), large dark spots on the interorbital-snout region, a pair of large dark marks on the ventral surface of the head, and a fragmented post-cephalic mark consisting of a large U-shaped dark spot with a more or less continuous white margin on the lower half, followed by a vertical row of three, smaller clusters of 2-3 polygonal dark marks,” Dr Allen and his colleagues wrote in a paper published in the aqua, International Journal of Ichthyology.

So seeing as the sun, and therefore the earth, has about 7 billion years left of habitable-environment-enabling time, does that mean that just as some species are extinct, some animals may not even have evolved yet?

It must do. Imagine the species to come.

Defo mate - remember we predicted the owl-shark some time ago

I'd also like to see a flying badger

I wonder what species will take over after Humans do ourselves in within a few thousand years.
