The Angelshark (Squatina squatina) typifies the fish most at risk of extinction: it grows to a large size and is cartilaginous, so it has characteristics which make it less resilient. Once common throughout Europe, it is now only found in the Canary Islands.

Weird Fact of the Day:
Hammerhead sharks are born with soft heads, so that they don’t get stuck in their mother’s birth canal.
Female hammerheads usually give birth to around 15 pups per litter, with the exception of the great hammerhead shark, which can give birth to 20-40.

Shocked Shark by Will Clark / Underwater Photographer of the Year 2016

“This juvenile blue shark was the first to arrive at our boat after an hour of chumming. We were alerted to its presence by the bobbing of a small buoy which had fresh mackerel tied to it. I leaned over the side of the boat with my camera housing not quite fully submerged as the skipper tried to coax the shark nearer to the boat. He got the blue very close to me, and then just at the last moment he whipped the bait out of the water, which got this reaction from the shark.”
