      1) Very cool.
      2) How do you pronounce the specific epithet?

      Interesting, I had never heard of this species but apparently it was split from Whitecheek Shark a couple years ago. That said, Bleeker described it in 1852 under C. tjutjot and it was later lumped as a synonym of C. dussumieri.

      @Great Argus Yeah,actually,I haven't seen any introductions about this shark in the display zone.A shark keeper told me that this shark was thought to be a lemon shark,but the second dorsal fin was smaller than a real lemon,so I think it might be C. tjutjot.Some aquarium in Japan have also have this species in captivity
