Info
Orectolobus floridus is so far only known from the southernmost part of Western Australia, where the species lives off the inner continental shelf.
Particularly striking is a conspicuous color pattern of yellowish-brown bands, spots, specks, and grids on the body surface of the carpet shark.
Studied males had a total length of up to 75 cm, the females were sometimes significantly smaller (67.4 to 71.4 cm).
Little is known about the biology of this species, but it is thought to be viviparous due to the known reproductive mode of other carpet sharks .
So there are also no concrete data about the diet, here is also inferred from experiences of other carpet shark species.
The species name of the Flower Banded Carpet Shark "floridus" has nothing to do with Florida, USA, but is derived from the Latin "floridus" for "abundantly flowering or profusely blooming", with reference to the rich, flowery pattern of bands and spots on the dorsal surface of the shark.
Shark bites can be quite lethal to humans, especially the 10 most dangerous shark species are considered and can launch unprovoked attacks from humans: - Great white shark - Bull shark - Tiger shark - Sand tiger shark - Blacktip shark - Bronze shark - Spinner shark - Blue shark - Hammerhead shark - Whitetip shark The bite by a shark is one of the most basic fears of humans, but the number of deaths caused by shark attacks is very low: in 2015 there were 98 attacks by sharks and in 6 cases the attack resulted in a fatal end for humans. In 2016 there were 107 attacks by sharks and in 8 cases the attack resulted in a fatal end for humans.

In 2022, there were a total of 108 shark attacks in the USA.
Conversely, however, 100 million sharks were killed by humans. http://www.zeit.de/2016/37/haie-toetung-tierschutz-surfer The risk of being bitten by a shark varies greatly from region to region, with most attacks occurring in Florida, Australia and South Africa. Please be careful not to go into the water with bleeding skin wounds, heed bathing warnings from the authorities and be very careful when using surfboards, as sharks can easily confuse the boards with seals and harbour seals. After shark bites, always call a doctor or / and the rescue service as soon as possible, as heavy bleeding can be life-threatening.
