Eastern Angel Shark

Image result for eastern angel sharkToday's blog is on the Eastern Angel shark, They get their name from the wing-like fins on their side. As you can see in the picture below they have their eyes on top of their head and they use them to look up to see small fish and they hid under sand like a stingray, Just remember they look similar so if you see one be careful it could be a stingray instead. This shark is nothing like all the others like the great white or bull shark they do not attack humans and they are friendly and have a devilish mean streak they usually hunt small fish and plankton ,however, they will attack if provoked , This shark is at risk of going extinct though and it is quite a shame they are usually hunted for the wings on their side like stingrays and could be dying from pollution as well. If you would like to find out more about this beauty then cheek out the links below.
