This week in Fish: Shark beaching and Cobbler Wobbegong

By: Mark McGrouther, Category: Science, Date: 10 Feb 2012

Most of us have never seen a shark beach itself in an attempt to catch its prey?  Amanda was lucky enough to watch this happen and included a short video in her final 'Lizard Fish' blog post.  We link to some great footage of Southern Garfish feeding in the shallows in Port Phillip Bay, Victoria. Thank you to everyone who contributed their time and images.
