Frilled Shark: Key Facts, Lifespan, Habitat and Information - Discovery UK

The frilled shark is a strange, prehistoric-looking shark that lives in the open ocean and spends much of its time in deep, dark waters far below the sea surface. Its long, cylindrical body reaches lengths of nearly 7 feet (2 m), and its fins are placed far back on the body. The frilled shark gets its name from the frilly appearance of its gill slits. Though they specialize on squids, frilled sharks are known to eat a variety of fishes and also other sharks. (http://oceana.org/marine-life/sharks
