Brownbanded bamboo shark
Adults up to 120 cm in length. They have a moderately slender body and a greatly elongated, thick precaudal tail. The mouth is in front of the eyes with spiracles below and behind the eyes. The snout is rounded anteriorly and barbels (sensory organs) hang from each nostril. Both dorsal fins are of equal size. The origin of the first dorsal fin is above the anterior halves of the pelvic fin bases. The origin of the anal fin is behind the free rear end of the second dorsal fin. The young are covered with wavy dark transverse bands and are sometimes peppered with brown spots. As the young mature, they lose their patterns and become a uniform brownish-grey colour, lighter on the underside and around the gill slits.Conservation Status: IUCN
