This behind the scenes #MomentofBlue is brought to you by Keeper Elena. In this video, watch as our juvenile epaulette sharks swim onto a underwater stretcher to receive their daily feedings. These young sharks are trained to use the stretcher so that keepers can monitor each young shark’s food intake and physical development. 📹: Keeper Elena | New York Aquarium

The Epaulette Shark. With its ability to ‘walk’ on the seafloor and its distinctive appearance, the Epaulette stands out from the typical shark crowd. A favourite to try and spot in the lagoons during low tide. 🎥 Master Reef Guide Steven IG: @i.am.animal 📍 Heron Island | Master Reef Guides

The epaulette shark's small size allows it to thrive in shallow coral reefs. But when the tide rolls out it can be left high and dry. | Nature | PBS

The Walking Shark. This is the incredible Epaulette Shark that can walk. Their fins enable them to “walk” along the seabed floor, over corals, and even over land. They use this special superpower to move between rock pools at low tide to feed on trapped small fish and invertebrates, their fins allowing them to boldly go where no other predators can. They are one of the most beautiful and perfectly adapted little hunters you’ll ever see. 🎥 IG: @jacintashackleton Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort | M

Over its 9 million years on this planet, epaulette sharks have evolved to do something quite extraordinary and unexpected: it can walk on land! #Sharkfest | National Geographic TV
