SHARK JAWS
SUPER
SUPER RARE ACQUISITION
(Somniosus microcephalus)
Also known as the Gurry or Grey shark
or by the Inuit name Eqalussuaq, is a large shark of the family
Somniosidae ("sleeper sharks" that is native to the waters of
the North Atlantic Ocean around Canada, Greenland and Iceland. These
sharks live farther north than any other shark species, adapted to be a
truly sub-Arctic species of shark. Closely related to the Pacific
sleeper shark. It holds the world record for having the world's most
toxic shark meat due to the high ammonia content (which is fermented and
eaten in some circles as "rotten shark".
It grows to 21 feet and 2200 pounds,
similar in size to the Great White shark. It uses a rolling motion
in catching prey which severs the flesh with its many layers of teeth that
have no serrations. It is an apex predator. The 8 lower rows of
teeth are spectacular.
Greenland shark expert remarks: "The mouth is really strange in these sharks. It's very plastic. They can change the way the mouth functions by moving muscles around the mouth. So they go from inverting or turning the mouth inside-out like a catfish can and make a big suction apparatus to rotating the teeth outward and driving the teeth into prey."
He said the bite of a Greenland shark is unmistakable. "They drive their teeth into prey, and they basically do a headstand on the prey, and they oscillate their body back and forth like a big auger. What they're doing is they're driving their jaws through their prey and they're taking this big ice cream scoop shape that's very neat and clean. Greenland shark bites have a very characteristic look," he said.
"I refer to them as Swiss Army knife predators — and they're really both a predator and a scavenger, and hence kind of the hyena of the deep."
The sharks also have an incredible sense of smell. The "super sniffers" are able to find food in the pitch black depths of the deep sea where they're thought to spend most of their time.
"In fact, they've been called giant swimming noses."
This specimen is from Iceland,
