Epaulette sharks are a small species of shark that can get 3.3 feet long. From a quick glance, they look like nothing special, but these sharks have a truly amazing ability.

This shark is actually not the best swimmer. Instead, it 'walks' both in and out of the water with its strong fins. Another interesting fact is that it can live outside of water for up to 2 hours. These traits are useful for the shark during low tide, because it can move to bigger pools of water. This has also helped them adapt to climate change better, as they can be more versatile. Epaulette sharks live in Australia and New Guinea. Epaulette sharks are one of my favorite species of shark. I love their unique color pattern and the small size makes it look very cute. The ability to 'walk' is amazing, and combining that with surviving out of water makes it very cool.
