The naming of fish species has always been a job best done by zoologists and scientists. But, every once in a while, the names are either weird, funny, or sometimes - rather rude! For Example: - Slippery Dick Wrasse - Bombay Duck - Sarcastic Fringehead - Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa - Monkeyface Prickleback The full list is here.

Growingup to at least 4.5 feet, the tasseled wobbegong looks like a seaweed covered rock when laying still. It is a bottom-living shark and a master of camouflage. A nocturnals hunter, it preys on fish with its huge jaws and needlelike teeth. This species has been reported to bite divers who disturb it. Reef destruction and overfishing have reduced its numbers.
