The world's rarest shark: The angel shark

Also known as the Pacific flat shark, the angel shark's flat body resembles that of a flounder, while swimming very similarly to a ray. It is completely different from the previous large-bodied sharks, and does not even have a full fin. Because it has two broad fin-like pectoral fins and smaller ventral fins, that's why it became an angel shark. But don't be fooled by its appearance. This is a hidden master of the sea floor, often to the predatory fish to a surprise, also known as the sea floor killer.

The angel shark's mouth can grow so large that it appears to have no teeth, but it has a total of 14 to 18 rows of teeth and has sharp triangular-shaped teeth, and its bite is quite impressive. There are also tentacles with tentacle makeup on either side of the mouth for sniffing out prey on the ocean floor. They can completely hide themselves in the sand, even if there are spots on their bodies they can be well hidden, even their eyes are closed.

Angel sharks generally prefer to live in shallow waters, but they can also reach deeper waters, and scientists have found a population of angel sharks living at depths of 1,300 meters. Today, angel sharks are endangered marine life and they have not escaped human pursuit, but it is good to see that people are conscious of protecting them, and also set up the "International Angel Shark Day" to call for the protection of angel sharks, in addition to a "Save the Angel Shark Project In addition, there is a "Save the Angel Shark Project", which encourages fishermen to release angel sharks when they are accidentally caught, in order to protect the diversity of shark species.
