Pyjama Catshark
Pyjama catshark
Poroderma africanum
This shyshark dwells in the colder waters of our coastline. Pyjama catsharks are light brown in colour and have distinct darker lines running from head to tail. The nasal barbels are the defining feature, giving the family the name 'catshark'. Spending most of its time on the seabed, this shark feeds on crayfish, crabs and fish.
