KITEFIN (black or seal shark) SHARK JAWS (RARE) (Dalatias licha) AMONG THE WEIRDEST JAWS ON THE PLANET
An ordinary looking little shark with a BIG BITE, this is a species of dogfish shark in the family Dalatiidae, and the only species in its genus (RARE!) relative of the nasty Cookie Cutter shark, awesome tooth formation! They shed a whole row of teeth at a time from the OUTSIDE, notice the two layers. Found in the Eastern Atlantic, from tropical West Africa to the Irish Atlantic slope; recorded once from the American coast. Shark size: 40-60" long; 72" is the longest recorded so far. Color: Dark chocolate, cinnamon, or violet brown below as well as above; the upper surface sometimes with poorly defined blackish spots; the dorsal and pectoral fins with pale or whitish edges, the tail tipped with black. This is a deepwater shark that has an extremely large liver so it can achieve neutral buoyancy. Harmless to humans. Upper and lower jaw shown |
