The Full Story
Goblin sharks are rare deep-sea sharks found mainly along continental slopes, submarine canyons, and other deep offshore habitats. They have been recorded from the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans, usually at depths of a few hundred to over 1,000 meters. Because they live so deep, they are seldom seen by humans, and most knowledge comes from incidental captures. Their long snout and protrusible jaws are adapted for catching prey in low light.
