Blind Shark
Blind sharks are another type of carpet sharks, found off of eastern Australia. They live on the rocky ocean floors. Oh and no the shark is not blind, but the name comes from the shark’s habitat of shutting its eyes when out of water. Though not usually known for attacking, they will bite if provoked. Actually, once they bite, their strong jaws in addition to powerful suction make them very hard to remove. There have been reported incidents of divers coming all the way to surface with a blind shark still attacked to their wetsuit until someone pries open the jaw.
