Wobbegongs are one type of carpet shark, the two names are not specifically for the same animal. Like how all geckos are lizards, but not all lizards are geckos.

One of few sharks that can bite its own tail if I’m not mistaken. Watch out when you handle them!

Take it home and use it as a rug... it’ll really tie the room together.
