Spined Pygmy Shark
The Spined Pygmy Shark is found along the upper continental shelves in nearly every ocean in the world except the Antarctic. Typically it is found at 660-1,600 feet (200-500 m) deep, migrating vertically at night to hunt for small bony fish like lanternfish. The underneath side of the Spined Pygmy Shark is covered with bioluminescent organs and the top has bumpy denticles that resemble spines. The Spined Pygmy Shark is very populous because it does not face any threats from humans.
