Arabian carpetshark
The Arabian carpetshark (''Chiloscyllium arabicum'') is a species of carpet shark in the family Hemiscylliidae, inhabiting coral reefs and other shallow coastal habitats from the Persian Gulf to India. Reaching long, this shark is characterized by a slender, plain brown body, and by two dorsal fins with straight trailing margins and the second smaller but longer-based than the first. The Arabian carpetshark feeds on bony fishes and invertebrates. Reproduction is oviparous with an annual cycle; females deposit egg capsules four at a time and the young hatch after 70–80 days. This small shark is often captured as bycatch but rarely used by humans. It has been assessed as Near Threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), as there is increasing fishing pressure and habitat degradation within its range. It does well in aquariums and has been bred in captivity.
==Taxonomy==
Prior to being described as a new species in Gubanov and Schleib's 1980 ''Sharks of the Arabian Gulf ()'', the Arabian carpetshark was misreported as the grey bamboo shark (''C. griseum''); it is uncertain whether the ranges of these two similar sharks in fact overlap.〔 No type specimens are known.〔 Other common names for this species include Arabian bamboo shark and confusing bamboo shark.〔
