Distribution

This marine species is endemic to Australia and can be found off Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria.

gollark: It doesn't contain potatOS. Look at it.

gollark: Just install potatOS and run `tryhaskell` or use my standalone version.
gollark: Anyway, the sandboxing was a lot of work initially, but now I don't actually need to touch it.
gollark: Which makes it somewhat limited in actual usability.
