The Goblin Shark

This giant-nosed ancient shark is unlike any other of its type, and it’s undoubtedly one of the strangest creatures you’ll ever see. Because goblin sharks reside in the deepest parts of the ocean (300-4000 feet below sea level), they are rarely seen, therefore little is known about them. A goblin shark may reach a length of 10 feet and weigh over 450 pounds. It has the unique capacity to stretch its mouth to the size of its snout, which comes in handy while grabbing prey. It has sharp, narrow front teeth for gripping and shredding flesh, and flat, broad rear teeth for breaking hard shells and bones.
