The Angel Shark


The Angel shark is a unusual shark because of itsflat body . Their pectoral fins are quite large and represent thewings of a angel.

It is well camouflaged with a sandy color so they look exactly like the bottom of the ocean floor. So they use most of their time on the ocean floor waiting for a shell fish or fish to pass by to snap with their sharp teeth. It's body can get to 6.5 ft or 2 m wide. It looks like a Sting Ray.
