This is a false catshark, Pseudotriakis microdon, named for catlike eyes. A bit soft around the middle — some might even say these ground sharks are flabby — and they move rather slowly, which led to another common name: “sofa shark.” #DeepWonders, 1,086 m

Toothless of the sea

They have no idea that over a thousand meters above them, beings from a realm they cannot fathom are calling them fat.

Love the visible curiosity and inquisitiveness the shark displays here. They may not be friendly sea puppies, but sharks aren’t mindless “doll-eyed” killers either.

How to Train Your Pseudotriakis Microdon

This shark is sleek and svelte like a cat obviously, u r crazy

He looks so polite

did you just call them fat

We body shaming sharks now lol

Deep-sea adaptations never fail to amaze. Fascinating footage from over 1,000 meters down! 👏

De frente me recordó a :

sofa shark is such an unfairly accurate name for this guy

Not sure sofa shark is fitting name because that slow moving cane be a deception as some sharks can still be fast enough to catch prey

This is mysterious and unreal to me

造型感覺很古老，小齒擬皺唇鯊 「小齒擬皺唇鯊（Pseudotriakis microdon）所屬的擬皺唇鯊科（Pseudotriakidae）最早的化石紀錄可追溯至上侏儸紀（約1.45億至1.63億年前）。作為現存的深海軟骨魚類，其家族支系在漫長的地球歷史中經歷了多次生物大滅絕。」

не знал, любопытно

Even the reproduction is low effort by shark standards. Two to four pups per litter, each already 70 to 85 cm at birth, raised in the womb on a diet of their mother's unfertilized eggs. Nothing about this animal is in a rush.

Oh, that's interesting

Do they bite

Wow, that's a flabby motherf#cker!

Parece mais comigo que com o tubarão.

Sea puppy.
