 Angel Shark(扁鲨)





This is a type of creature that we never want to get close to. With its super sharp teeth and a lower jaw with strong biting force, it can swallow its prey at a mouthful. Well-adapted for staying on the sea bottom, it is of a compacted form with enlarged pectoral and pelvic fins. It buries itself in sediment and waits for passing prey, including benthic bony fishes, skates and invertebrates. Once spread throughout the coastal waters of the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, it is now a critically endangered species.
