The tasselled wobbegong has been reported to bite and kill humans unprovoked

hol' up

With several records of apparently unprovoked attacks on people, the tasselled wobbegong has a reputation beyond other wobbegongs for aggressive behavior.

Is such a fucking funny sentence to me.

Normally when I think of wobbegongs I think about cute, maybe a little strange-looking but otherwise harmless creatures. But then I remember that the tasselled wobbegong exists.
