The tiger catshark (Halaelurus natalensis) is a species of catshark, belonging to the family Scyliorhinidae. It is found over sandy areas and near reef peripheries off South Africa and perhaps Mozambique, from close to shore to usually no deeper than 100 m. Reaching a length of 50 cm, this small, slim shark has a broad, flattened head with an upturned snout tip. It can additionally be identified by its dorsal colour pattern of ten dark brown saddles on a yellowish brown background. Order: Carcharhiniformes, Family: Scyliorhinidae, Species: Halaelurus natalensis (Regan, 1904), Synonyms: Scyllium natalense Regan, 1904. |
