Parascyllium Ferrugineum
The rusty carpetshark (''Parascyllium ferrugineum'') is a carpetshark of the family Parascylliidae found off southern Australia between latitudes 31°S and 41°S near the ocean floor on the continental shelf. It inhabits rocky reefs and seagrass beds in depth by night, hiding in caves by day. Its length is up to TL and it feeds on crustaceans and molluscs. Reproduction is oviparous Oviparous animals are animals that lay their eggs, with little or no other embryonic development within the mother. This is the reproductive method of most fish, amphibians, most reptiles, and all pterosaurs, dinosaurs (including birds), a ..., with pups being born at in length.

Parascyllium Variolatum
The necklace carpetshark (''Parascyllium variolatum''), also known as the varied carpetshark, is a carpetshark of the family Parascylliidae endemic to the waters off Australia's southern coast between latitudes 37°S and 41°S. It is found near the ocean floor over sand, rock, coral reefs, and kelp and seagrass beds at depths down to . It is almost exclusively seen at night and spends the day hidden in caves or camouflaged on the ocean floor. With a slender, elongated body and a maximum length of only 91.0 cm TL, it is harmless to humans. The tail is long, but difficult to tell apart from the rest of the shark. Its body is grey to brown in color with a broad black collar, from which it gets its name, and white spots along its body. It has small spiracles and nostrils with short barbels, likely used for sensory purposes. It is often mistaken for a species of catshark, despite being more closely related to wobbegongs and nurse sharks. It is a nocturnal predator and feeds most ...

Parascyllium Collare
The collared carpetshark (''Parascyllium collare'') is a poorly understood species of carpetshark of the family Parascylliidae endemic to the waters of eastern Australia between latitudes 26°S and 38°S. It is typically found in depth near the floor of rocky reefs on the continental shelf, though its depth range can extend between . At a maximum length of only , it poses no threat to humans. It is common within its range and is not targeted species. This, combined with high survival rates after discardment and a significant portion of habitat untouched by fishing are why it is listed as Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Reproduction is oviparous Oviparous animals are animals that lay their eggs, with little or no other embryonic development within the mother.

Parascyllium Sparsimaculatum
The ginger carpetshark (''Parascyllium sparsimaculatum'') is a species of carpetshark of the family Parascylliidae endemic to the waters off western Australia. It is a small fish at only TL in length in females and harmless to humans. Its depth range is on the upper continental shelf. It is known from only three specimens, and so biological and population data are lacking. It is likely not under threat due to its depth range, but its limited range may make it vulnerable to fishing. Reproduction is oviparous Oviparous animals are animals that lay their eggs, with little or no other embryonic development within the mother.

Carpetshark
Carpet sharks are sharks classified in the order Orectolobiformes . Sometimes the common name "carpet shark" (named so because many species resemble ornately patterned carpets) is used interchangeably with "wobbegong", which is the common name of sharks in the family Orectolobidae. Carpet sharks have five gill slits, two spineless dorsal fins, and a small mouth that does not extend past the eyes. Many species have barbels. Characteristics The carpet sharks are a diverse group of sharks with differing sizes, appearances, diets, and habits. They first appeared in the fossil record in the Early Jurassic; the oldest known orectolobiform genera are '' Folipistrix'' (known from Toarcian to Aalenian of Belgium and Germany), '' Palaeobrachaelurus'' (Aalenian to Barremian) and '' Annea'' (Toarcian to Bajocian of Europe). All species have two dorsal fins and a relatively short, transverse mouth that does not extend behind the eyes. Besides the nostrils are barbels, tactile sensory organs, ...
