Part eel, part shark, all teeth. The frilled shark is a prehistoric throwback to shark kind when they were more eel-like and less fish-like, although still considered to be sharks. They were also a lot more hideous back then.
Frilled sharks are not normally seen by humans as they typically live hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface, but occasionally one gets dragged up to the sun by an unfortunate New Zealand fisherman.
With a mouth full of needle-like teeth and a set of spiked gills that give the frilled shark it’s name, most marine biologists consider the frilled shark to be “hideous”. Despite their appearance, the frilled shark is not considered dangerous. They feed on squid in the ocean depths and are rarely seen in the wild.
