The Frilled Shark is a deep-water shark that sports many “primitive” features, leading it to be dubbed a living fossil. Its name comes from the frilled appearance of its six pairs of gill slits. Visible are its approximately 300 teeth, with notable needle-like cusps and cusplets, suited for feeding on squid. Unlike most sharks, it is unique in having a long, slender, eel-like body, and unusual front-facing jaws, as opposed to the underslung jaws of most shark species.
