CREATURE FEATURE: Smallspotted Catshark
The Smallspotted Catshark is a small, slender shark commonly found in British coastal waters. They are known for their dark spots and have a unique behavior of curling into a ‘doughnut’ shape when threatened, giving rise to their nickname ‘shy sharks.’ These sharks prefer shallow habitats and are often seen alone or in small groups, making them a fascinating species for scuba divers to encounter.
