Port Jackson sharks, endemic to southern Australia, are bottom-dwellers with blunt heads and harness-like markings. Using flat teeth, they crush sea urchins, mollusks, and crabs. Nocturnal and harmless, they rest in rocky caves by day. Egg cases shaped like corkscrews are their unique hallmark in temperate reefs.
