The epaulette shark relies on its unique characteristics to survive its taxing habitat in the Great Barrier Reef. Chief among them: its ability to walk.

The shark, which can also survive out of water for multiple hours, is built to survive the toughest ocean conditions. That’s why researchers are now looking to the creature, one of a handful of walking shark species, as an indicator of what climate change might bring in the decades ahead.

What is an epaulette, a.k.a. the shark that can walk?
The slender, sandy-colored epaulette shark sports a large black spot on its side, resembling an epaulet, the shoulder piece worn on traditional military garbs, said Jodie Rummer, a marine biology professor at James Cook University in Australia who has studied the epaulette shark for more than a decade.

The epaulette shark's small size allows it to thrive in shallow coral reefs. But when the tide rolls out it can be left high and dry. To avoid baking in the hot sun, the epaulette utilizes an extraordinary strategy - it walks to water.
