Lucy Lockhart has been finding out about a very interesting creature... the goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) is a deep-sea shark. It is easy to recognise as it has an unusual shape for its head. Some other features of the shark are the color of its body, which is mostly pink, and its long jaws.
The Goblin shark is found in the deep ocean, far below where the sun's light can reach at depths greater than 200 m. They can be found throughout the world. They are best known from the waters around
Japan, where the species was first discovered.
Amazingly they can live for up to 30 years!
