Looks pretty strong, as ever.

  • "John Stevens and Glen Cuthbert in 1983.[2] Its scientific description was authored by William White, Peter Last, and Leonard Compagno" Do we have articles about any of these people? We certainly do for Zootaxa.
Added some links.
  • "The large, oval eyes possess nictitating membranes and have a notched posterior rim" Plural eyes, but singular rims?
Fixed.
  • "octopuses such as Callistoctopus" Callistoctopus species?
Added "spp."
  • "such as that sharks over 90 cm (35 in) long eat almost nothing else" Do you need "as"?
Removed the "as".
Changed to "...habitat shift toward coral reefs".
  • "particularly for smaller sharks; other cephalopods, mud lobsters, crabs, and echinoderms are rarely consumed." This reads oddly; how about adding "in addition," before "other cephalopods"?
Divided into two sentences.
  • I'm assuming we don't know how long they live? Are those that are caught used for anything?
There's no longevity data. I looked for references about them being utilized but there wasn't any, so they may be discarded.
Links added.
  • A distribution category would be good.
Added one.

Very good, as ever. J Milburn (talk) 18:41, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
