Due to powerful tides, this teeming reef has become a series of shallow tide pools. An Epaulette shark is caught on the reef in the deadly Australian sun. Not to fear, this little shark has evolved ways to survive out of water. By shutting down its organs one by one, it can cope without oxygen sixty times longer than a human. And, if necessary, it can switch to survival tactic number two; it can use its fins as a pair of rudimentary legs to make its way back to the nearest tide pool, and the cool ocean water. This is the only shark that can walk its way out of trouble.

The Greenland Shark is a prehistoric shark, it has an extra gill slit than the modern day shark, so it comes from another era. It lives thousands of feet on the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean, so very few people know about it. The Greenland Shark is known to live up to 200 years old. Parasites latch onto the eye of the shark and feed off the tissue of the eye, rendering the shark blind. But they have no problem hunting for food, they have incredible smell and, like most sharks, they can sense the vibrations that prey give off.
Cutie prehistoric shark! (Except for the eye scream part).

The Goblin shark extends its jaw way out in front of its body, then snaps it back to catch food. The jaw is suspended by ligaments, and not connected to the skull.
