Pale Catshark

The Pale Catshark is the second smallest known shark. This tiny shark only reaches 8.2 inches (21 cm) at maturity. Like the Dwarf Lanternshark, the Pale Catshark is a deep sea fish living at 2148 ft (655 m) in the Makassar Straits in Indonesia. They resemble a typical catshark and are reddish-white in color. There has only ever been one Pale Catshark caught, so very little is known about them besides that they are oviparous, laying pairs of eggs.
