    		In March of 2008, two newly discovered species of wobbegong sharks made their public debut in the scientific journal, Zootaxa.

    The wobbegongs, collected by WA Department of Fisheries scientists during a catch monitoring exercise off the south west coast, are known as the floral banded (Orectolobus floridus) and the dwarf spotted (Orectolobus parvimaculatus).
