Excellent. But weren't those names meant to be humourous?

There are lots of different wobbegongs! Gulf, Western, Japanese, Spotted, Ornate, Northern, Dwarf Spotted, Cobbler & False Cobbler.

I like the irony of BBC spring watch etc being hosted by a small bearded tit.

and a bit of trivia (which I hope isn't urbam myth) the football game Subbuteo was so called because its inventors favourite bird was the Hobby, and the latin name for it is "Subbuteo".

Personally, I think you could have at least toned down your language and said "Booby" Sula nebouxii

What the hell has all this got to do with wobbagongs?
-
Shall I split the thread ?
-
I shall leave that to your dubious judgment

Um, I think it's WobbEgong too.
There is a very small Amazonian snake that has developed the tendency to wrap itself around a warm body for sleep, so after it has caught a rat or similar, it wraps itself around it for a snooze before eating it. The scientist who discovered it found it, erm, in his pants around his meat and two veg - the snake is called "constrictus genitalius".

Wobbagong, wobbegong... OY-VAY!

.... I see you guys are still in excellent form !
