Shawna Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Camping, Laurie? I love camping! We used to go on family camping trips every summer, and they were always great fun! Except for poor Mom... she had to run the "kitchen." Who knew spaghetti would make a great Coleman Stove camping dinner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombre Vivante Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Oh, I hate camping... I love expensive hotels I´m not fond of nature, really. I prefer the city. You and me, edna. I can totally picture us going on a tirade against nature: Why did you tell me to come this way, Grizelda? You know I hate nature! Look at those disgusting trees, stealing my oxygen. Oh, I can't stand this scenery another minute. All natural forests should be turned into housing developments! I want cement covering every blade of grass in this nation. Don't we taxpayers have a voice anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poetrychick Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I googled: Spotted Wobbegong Orectolobus maculatus (Bonnaterre, 1788) A juvenile Spotted Wobbegong at a depth of 5m, Shiprock, Port Hacking, Sydney, New South Wales. A Spotted Wobbegong at a depth of 23m, Shark Point, Sydney, New South Wales. View larger image.

The photographer did not see if the Freckled Porcupinefish managed to escape. Photo © B. Carter. View larger image. The Spotted Wobbegong can be recognised by the skin flaps around the snout margin and the distinctive colour pattern of dark saddles and white rings on a yellow to greenish-brown background. It is about 20 cm in length when born and reaches a maximum size of about 3 m. Feeding occurs mainly at night and includes prey items such as fishes, crayfish, crabs and octopuses. Spotted Wobbegongs live in shallow coastal waters down to about 100 m depth. They often lie on sand or rocky reef bottoms and are frequently seen by divers. This species occurs along the southern coastline of Australia from southern Queensland to south-western Western Australia. It is possibly endemic to Australia. Records from Japan and the South China Sea are probably errors. The genus name Orectolobus comes from the Greek words orectos, meaning stretched out, and lobos meaning a rounded projection or protuberance. The genus name most likely refers to the barbels on the head. The species name maculatus comes from the Latin word macula which means spot, and refers to the shark's spotted colouration. Wobbegong is an Australian aboriginal word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the Officer Marc Spotted Wobbegong, you can bet that Freckled Porcupinefish was in fin cuffs and hauled off for booking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
