Cloudy catsharks are small, benthic sharks in the family Scyliorhinidae known for their mottled, cloudy patterning of dark brown or grey patches and spots on a lighter background, providing camouflage against rocky reef and sandy seafloor substrates. Members of this group inhabit shallow to moderate-depth coastal and shelf waters across Indo-Pacific and Atlantic regions, living primarily as nocturnal predators of bottom-dwelling fish, cephalopods, and crustaceans. Catsharks are oviparous, depositing elongated, ridged egg cases often called mermaid's purses attached to coral, algae, or rocky substrate, from which juveniles emerge after weeks to months of development. Several Scyliorhinus species are locally common in their ranges, while others with restricted distributions face pressure from bycatch in commercial fisheries targeting shrimp and demersal fish with bottom trawls, gillnets, and longlines. Catsharks serve as important components of reef and shelf ecosystem food webs as both predators and prey of larger sharks and marine mammals. Most catshark species occupy relatively shallow, accessible habitats where human fishing pressure is greatest.

호주 동부와 동남부의 상징적인 유대류로, 체중이 최대 15kg이며 저칼로리인 유칼립투스 잎 식단에서 에너지를 절약하기 위해 하루 최대 22시간을 잠으로 보낸다. 대부분의 다른 포유류를 죽일 수 있는 유독한 유칼립투스 성분을 처리하도록 고도로 특화되어, 해독에 특별히 적응된 장내 미생물총을 지닌다. 2022년 기후 변화, 서식지 개발, 클라미디아 감염으로 인한 개체수 감소로 위기종으로 지정되었다.
