These sharks are a species of carpet sharks and live in the shallow tropical waters of Australia and New Guinea. They are a small species of shark, typically around 70-90 centimeters long, and have a slender body with a short head and broad, paddle-shaped paired fins. Their snout is short and round.
They are light brown with darker spots scattered on their body. Their name comes from the prominent black spots which can be found behind their pectoral fins.
