scipsy: The goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) is a deep-sea shark that lives near the sea floor. It can grow to 3.3 metres long and weigh about 160 kg. The most distinctive characteristics of this shark is the shape of its head and the fact that to attack the prey it protrudes its jaws [video]. It is pink because of the blood vessels underneath its semi-transparent skin. Living in the deep-sea, where there is no light, this shark has very small eyes and to hunt relies on the the electro-sensitive organs in the rostrum.
