Claim: Hemiscyllium ocellatum species has the ability to venture on land for extended periods of time by using a number of means of locomotion, including springing, snake-like lateral undulation, and tripod-like walking.
Evidence: Yes The epaulette shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum) tends to live in shallow waters where swimming is difficult, and can often be seen walking over rocks and sand by using its muscular pectoral fins. If it finds itself out of water, it can survive for several hours, and is capable of walking over land to get to water. Rather than swim, epaulette sharks often "walk" by wriggling their bodies and pushing with their paired fins.
