Hidden in the the colourful coral reefs of northern Australia and new guinea lives the epaulette shark, like nearly all sharks are fearsome predators. However, they are very small barley reaching a meter in length so they are still prey for many larger oceanic animals including other bigger shark species. Luckily where they live they are rarely under the threat from larger predators because they inhabit coastal reefs that are often too shallow for many of their predators to gain access. However, the downside is that they run the risk of being beached on dry land and so have drastically changed their biology in order to counter this.
