Range of hooded carpetshark (in blue)

The hooded carpetshark (Hemiscyllium strahani) is a bamboo shark in the family Hemiscylliidae found around Papua New Guinea, between latitudes 5° S and 10° S, and longitude 144° E and 153° E. Its length is up to 75 cm. Like other longtailed carpetsharks, it can use its strong pectoral fins to walk on land for a short period of time. The hooded carpetshark is heavily wanted in the aquarium trade, the result is making this shark endangered.

Reproduction is oviparous.

Etymology

The shark is named in honor of Australian zoologist Ronald Strahan (1922–2010), who was director of Taronga Zoological Park, where the holotype lived in captivity.[1]
