Brachaeluridae

The Brachaeluridae family, commonly known as blind sharks, is one of seven families within the order Orectolobiformes, which comprises carpet sharks. These sharks are characterized by their mottled patterns, which help them camouflage on the seabed. They are found in oceans worldwide, with a concentration in the Indo-Pacific and Australian regions.12

Blind sharks are generally not considered dangerous to humans, though they may defend themselves if threatened. Their diet primarily consists of mollusks and crustaceans. Some species give birth to live young, while others lay eggs. The classification of sharks can be complex and is subject to ongoing research and revision.13
