The snaggletooth is a very rare shark.So rare that I only heard of it two days ago.Snaggletooth sharks are on the brink of extinction, they can reach up to 8ft (2.50m) in length and are found in the West Pacific and the Red Sea.
Snaggletooth sharks are fast swimmers and they use this speed to hunt rays, crabs, lobsters and other sharks (nurse, swell...).The shark itself is caught for it's fins and it's liver which contains vitamins.
This shark is a species of weasel shark which means that it tends to live in deep water.
I am struggling to find any other details on this shark.I shall update this post the moment I learn something new.Come back to this post soon, but in the meantime take a look at the video clip of the snaggletooth shark spotted at 100m down by some divers in the Red Sea.
