	Scyliorhinidae Scyliorhinidae is a Family (biology), family of sharks, one of a few families whose members share the common name catsharks, belonging to the Order (biology), order Carcharhiniformes, the ground sharks. Although they are generally known as catsharks, some species can also be called dogfish due to previous naming. However, a dogfish may generally be distinguished from a catshark as catsharks lay eggs while dogfish have live young. Like most bottom feeders, catsharks feed on benthic invertebrates and smaller fish. They are not harmful to humans. The family is paraphyletic, containing several distinct lineages that do not form a monophyletic group. Genera Scyliorhinidae includes the following genera: * ''Cephaloscyllium'' Theodore Gill, T. N. Gill, 1862 * ''Poroderma'' Andrew Smith (zoologist), A. Smith, 1838 * ''Scyliorhinus'' Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville, Blainville, 1816 Anatomy and appearance Scyliorhinidae catsharks may be distinguished by their elongated, cat- ...

picture info	Ground Sharks Carcharhiniformes ( from Classical Greek ' (karcharos) 'sharp/jagged' and ' (rhinos) 'nose', plus Latin ''forme'' 'shape'), commonly known as ground sharks, are the largest order of sharks, with over 270 species. They include a number of common types, such as Scyliorhinidae, catsharks, swellsharks, and Requiem shark, requiem sharks. Members of this order are characterized by the presence of a nictitating membrane over the eye, two dorsal fins, an anal fin, and five gill slits. The families in the order Carcharhiniformes are expected to be revised; recent DNA studies show that some of the conventional groups are not monophyletic. The oldest members of the order appeared during the Middle-Late Jurassic, which have teeth and body forms that are morphologically similar to living Scyliorhinidae, catsharks. Carchariniformes first underwent major diversification during the Late Cretaceous, initially as mostly small-sized forms, before radiating into medium and large body sizes during ...

	Pseudotriakidae The Pseudotriakidae are a small family of ground sharks, belonging to the order Carcharhiniformes, containing the false catsharks (genera '' Pseudotriakis'' and ''Planonasus'') and gollumsharks (genus ''Gollum''). It contains the only ground shark species that exhibit intrauterine oophagy, in which developing fetus A fetus or foetus (; : fetuses, foetuses, rarely feti or foeti) is the unborn offspring of a viviparous animal that develops from an embryo. Following the embryonic development, embryonic stage, the fetal stage of development takes place. Pren ...es are nourished by eggs produced by their mother.
