29 Sea Creatures with Superpower-Like Abilities
Goblin Sharks Disconnect Their Jaws
The goblin shark is considered one of the weirdest-looking sharks out there, and that’s mostly because of what it does with its jaws when it encounters prey. The goblin shark can seemingly extend its entire upper and lower jaw ahead of its face to catch prey, and then pull its food back into its head for digestion. The process can look a bit terrifying, but whatever works to keep the goblin shark’s belly full.
Being able to survive the harsh world of the oceans requires much talent and that extra special something that either keeps you alive or keeps your belly full. With very little human interaction with sea life, these creatures have likely existed this way for thousands of years, unaffected by the goings-on of the planet above the waves.
