Angel sharks are a group of bottom-dwelling sharks that are found in tropical and temperate waters around the world. They are characterized by their flattened bodies, which are well-camouflaged against the seafloor. Angel sharks have long, flat pectoral fins that give them the appearance of having wings, hence their name.
There are about 16 species of angel sharks, and they range in size from about 1 foot to 6 feet long. The largest species is the giant angelshark, which can grow up to 10 feet long. Angel sharks are ambush predators that lie on the ocean floor and wait for their prey to come near. They feed on a variety of fish, including small sharks, rays, and bottom-dwelling fish.
Angel sharks are considered to be vulnerable to extinction due to overfishing and habitat loss. They are also slow to reproduce, which makes them even more vulnerable to population decline.
Here are some interesting facts about angel sharks:
They are ovoviviparous, which means that the eggs hatch inside the mother’s body and the young are born live.
The young angel sharks are born with a yolk sac that provides them with nourishment until they are able to fend for themselves.
Angel sharks are relatively docile sharks and are not considered to be a threat to humans.
However, they can be dangerous if they are provoked or if they feel threatened.
Angel sharks play an important role in the marine ecosystem. They help to keep populations of prey fish in check, and they are also a food source for other larger predators. It is important to protect angel sharks from overfishing and habitat loss so that they can continue to play their role in the marine ecosystem.
