The frilled shark (Chlamydoselachus anguineus) is one of two living species of shark in the family Chlamydoselachidae, with a wide but patchy distribution in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, usually near the bottom. Exhibiting several primitive features, the frilled shark has often been termed a living fossil. It reaches a length of 2 meters and has a dark brown, eel-like body with the dorsal, pelvic, and anal fins placed far back. Its common name comes from the frilly or fringed appearance of its six pairs of gill slits, with the first pair meeting across the throat. Seldom observed, the frilled shark may capture prey by bending its body and lunging forward like a snake. The long, extremely flexible jaws enable it to swallow prey whole, while its many rows of small, needle-like teeth make it difficult for the prey to escape.

Bouquet of roses? No, thanks. I prefer a bouquet of dogs.
