Etymology: Brachaelurus: brachys (Gr.), short, referring to short and stout body; aelurus, from ailouros (Gr.), cat, i.e., a short catshark (See ETYFish)waddi: Name given on a painting (now lost) by British ornithologist John Latham (1740-1837), from which it was described; meaning unknown, possibly based on waddi or waddy, an Australian aboriginal name for a war club and a species of tree (Acacia peuce) endemic to central Australia (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: The original description does not explain the binomial. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Biologie     Verklarende woordenlijst (bv. epibenthic)

Usually found close inshore in tide pools (barely deep enough to keep it covered) and at the surf line, but sometimes deeper (Ref. 247). Prefers rocky shoreline areas and coral reefs (Ref. 247, 43278). Feeds on small reef invertebrates (Ref. 247), including crabs, shrimps, cuttlefish, squid and sea anemones (Ref. 43278), and small fishes (Ref. 247). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 43278, 50449). Thrives in an aquaria and capable of living out of water for a long time (Ref. 247).

Levenscyclus en paargedrag Maturiteit | Voortplanting | Paaien | Eieren | Fecunditeit | Larven

Ovoviviparous, embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). With 7 or 8 young in a litter (Ref. 247). Distinct pairing with embrace (Ref. 205).
