Wikipedia Abstract

The whitesaddled catshark, Scyliorhinus hesperius, is a species of catshark, and part of the family Scyliorhinidae. It is found on the upper continental slope of the western central Atlantic Ocean, off the coasts of Honduras, Panama and Colombia, between latitudes 22° N and 9° N, at depths between 274 and 457 m (900 and 1,500 ft). It can grow to a length of 47 cm (19 in). The reproduction of this catshark is oviparous but otherwise, little is known about its biology. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as "data deficient".
