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".

• "(see above)" WP:SELF?

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.

• Useful link? Another? Another?

Links added.

• A distribution category would be good.

Added one.

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