A fact from Brown shyshark appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 September 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the dark, puffadder, brown, and Natal shysharks (puffadder shyshark pictured) of South Africa are so named because they curl into a ring when threatened and "shyly" cover their eyes with their tails?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/September.

Image identity doubtful.

Looks like H. pictus, and is out of normal range for H. fuscus. • • • Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 14:59, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
