🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈
The Taiwan Spurdog was accidentally discovered in a Taiwanese fish market by two scientists. This endangered shark is endemic to China, Taiwan, and South Korea. There is not much known about its behavior as it lives in depths up to 2600ft near the continental shelf. They are assumed to be very shy, as there is no record of divers having ever seen the Spurdog during explorations.

ghost sharks have long tapering bodies and incredibly large heads. their skin ranges in color from black to pale blue to brownish grey and is quite smooth. they have large eyes, oversized nostrils, and large, visible teeth, which give them a rabbit-like appearance, though within their mouths are three tooth plates.
ghost sharks have mineralized tooth plates. they use these teeth to crush mollusks and worms, making for an interesting diet.
ghost sharks primarily caught as bycatch. while their meat is edible, the majority of their commercial value comes from their livers, which contain an oil known as squalene that's used in a wide variety of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.

🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈
Filetail Catsharks have been observed from deep-diving submersibles near the bottom of the Santa Barbara Basin, an area which is considered anoxic (oxygen deficient) with few if any other vertebrates. Another interesting note is that it is a neutrally buoyant fish as a result of the high concentration of squalene in its liver.

The Meg 3.5/10 shark was pretty lame looking and neither the plot nor the characters were compelling. Additional .5 stars for Sharky the Roomba
