Granular Dogfish

The last small shark on our list is the Granular Dogfish named for its grainy appearance and skin texture. The Granular Dogfish reaches 11 inches (27 cm) in length and lives around the Falkland Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The only known specimen was caught at 1476 ft (450 m) but little is known about its habitat. Though scientists speculate it is a deep water hunter, found only around Chile and the Falkland islands. It is brown and black and resembles a typical Dogfish Shark.
