Goblin Shark

Goblin Sharks are a deep water shark and the only shark in the family Mitsukurinidae.

Characteristics
Goblin sharks are easily recognized by their long, pointy noses. They are a gray and pink color. They have a special jaw that can "reach out" and snag the prey with the terrifying teeth tearing and trapping the shark's meal. They are a slow moving shark.

Size
They grow to about 10 feet, although much larger ones have been spotted such as 13 ft or even 18 ft. They weigh around 300-400 lbs.

Prey
Goblin sharks eat crustaceans and fish as well as some mollusks.

Habitat
These sharks have been found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans many times, and the Atlantic a few times. The trenches off the coast of Japan are a very common place to find them.
