A Shark in Black-and-White Looks Even Scarier

If you thought that sharks couldn’t look any scarier, here is visual proof that the cold-blooded creatures always appear frightening. The elasmobranch fish vary in size, and even the smallest, the dwarf lantern, is still somewhat menacing. The dwarf lantern, measuring 12 meters long, is comparatively the same size as a human hand.

There are several other downright odd and beautiful types of sharks. As implied, the hammerheads have noggins shaped like the standard hand tool. The hammerheads use their heads, so to speak, to pin down their prey against the seafloor. Goblins have a bright pink tone, while cookie-cutter sharks earned the name from their round-shaped bite marks.
