spiny-dogfish

 

Sharks can actually be spotted in some of the Seafloor Explorer images! Mostly small, ‘spiny dogfish’ (also known as ‘mud sharks’) like the one seen here. They are nothing really to worry about, but who knows what else lurks in those cold, deep waters? Have a go at hunting for sharks (and many other types of marine life) yourself at www.seafloorexplorer.org
