This next shark up at The Fins United Initiative goes by a LOT of names. See if you recognize any of them: Banded Dogfish, Black-banded Cat Shark, Brown-banded Bamboo Shark, Cat Shark, Grey Catshark, Hasselt's Bamboo Shark, Longtail Carpet Shark, Ridge-back Bamboo Shark, White-spotted Bamboo Shark.
Nope? Well how about the grey bamboo shark (Chiloscyllium griseum). Ding, ding, ding! We’ve got a winner. River stingrays or freshwater stingrays like the Branco River Stingray are in the family Potamotrygonidae, in the order Myliobatiformes. And we’re about to introduce you to another black-colored species in this group. Drumroll, please…
