Goblin Shark
The Goblin Shark -sometimes referred to as a "living fossil"- is either the ugliest shark on earth... or it's an alien from another planet. Or is it a bit of both? These rare deap-sea sharks are pretty fascinating creatures.
When this creepy shark find it's prey, the jaws actually shoot out from inside the head and snap shut on its helpless victim. When the jaws retract back inside the head, it looks like it has a long, pointy beak.
First discovered in the late 19th century, there was still little known about these mysterious sharks until recently. Watch the video clips for more fascinating facts!
