Dwarf Lantern Shark

The smallest shark, a dwarf lantern shark is smaller than a human hand! They live deep down in the ocean so very little is know about them. Their name comes from the presence of light producing photophores on their bodies. Their teeth are designed for cutting and slicing. They are rarely seen and not many people have heard of one. Dwarf lantern sharks are one of the many ocean dwelling creatures that we could find lots more about.Shark of the week: Dwarf lanternshark – save our blue planet
