Looks really good so far. One thing, alternate common names are usually listed in the lead, not in the article, see for example Wolverine.
I don't like doing that unless the alternate common names are comparable in usage to the main one, because I feel that's what's implied when they're in bold in the intro. In this case "tasselled wobbegong" is by far the predominant name used for this species, and the others are rarely seen. -- Yzx (talk) 20:24, 18 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
"Other wobbegongs" are sometimes mentioned in the article, but it is never explained what exact clade this word refers to. It appears to be Orectolobidae, so this should be clarified.
Apart from this, I can't find problems, I'm impressed that the article covers so much ground in spite of being rather short. If possible, some of this could maybe be elaborated, but that's for FA. FunkMonk (talk) 14:14, 18 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
