Wobbegong species ID 6/19/10
Hi Bob and rest of the Crew,
<Como que va Wilberth?>
Could someone tell me accurately which species of wobbegong is this?
<Think this is Orectolobus maculatus... gets to be very large>
It was sold as "Ward´s" but looks to me more like an Orectolobus Maculatus, thanks for your help...
Regards from Mexico City

Re: Wobbegong species ID 6/21/10
Hola Bob,
<Quetal Wil?>
Thanks for your answer, doing some more research on the internet and some shark books I have, I´ve seen more resemblance to the Orectolobus ornatus
<It may be...>
and even Orectolobus Japonicus but then I found this wobby sp called "dwarf ornate wobbegong" and looks a lot like mine, anyway I have no conclusion and still a bit confused...
<A good way to be in my estimation>
Gracias como siempre Bob
<De nada hombre>
Saludos
Wilberth
<Y tu, RobertoF>
