The goblin shark's scientific name is Mitsukurina owstoni. It is found in scattered areas and the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans at depths of about 1200 feet. No pregnant specimen has ever been found so it's reproduction is unknown. The goblin shark feeds on organisms at the ocean floor such as squids, crustaceans, and other bottom dwelling fish. One way this fish has adapted is by its teeth; it has long sharp teeth of the Fryant to catch prey and's small taken the back to eat them. Another way is it long and picturing snout that it uses to detect fish's electricity. And another adaptation is it slender body used to maneuver through things. It is not believed to be at risk. The sharks can be up to 3.8 meters long, it lives at the bottom of the ocean, and has rarely been seen.
