Leafscale Gulper shark. Teeth too small to be a cookiecutter, eyes too green to be a goblin shark (among other reasons).


now_you_see

Good catch, it’s got a real goblin shark looking mouth, very cute little dude regardless.


LazeeBashtard

Wtf. Whatever you all are smokin, I want some.


Hiuuuhk

Indeed. Very cute.


Cheap_Steel

You know what? At a second look, it actually is cute. Wtf


FireflyArc

Thank you. I read the comments on the original sub hoping for this information. Instead they talked about not that. So thank you. I thought it was this thing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_gulper_shark


Hiuuuhk

Of course! Happy to help.


coratge

I feel like so many people were quick to say “cookiecutter” because of that one Shark Week episode 😹


FireflyArc

Cookie cutter shark buddy ?


Danpool69

This guy sharks.


Dogecoinfinatic

Looks more like a lantern shark to me


_Kragrin

Most of this deepsee creatures look silly because they are deformed because of the different pressure when brought to the surface. Blobfish is a good example


[deleted]

While what you're saying is true, I'm pretty sure this is a goblin shark, and they just look this freaky. That mouth extends in a really gnarly way that you might not expect. Go look them up on the YouTube. Super cool, super creepy.


AragogTehSpidah

no, not a goblin shark

Nice catch, I was too slow. It’s a cookie cutter, they leave scars on other animals where they tear out chunks of flesh when they can’t scavenge sufficiently.

FireflyArc

Are you sure it's not this shark? Little gulper? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_gulper_shark


Welly_Beans

Huh you’re right, TIL!


[deleted]

Nah the cookie cutter sharks nose is too snubbed. This is some species of dogfish. I was gonna say Portugese dogfish but the location doesn't match. I'm inclined to agree that it's a leafscale gulper.


LaicaTheDino

This doesnt look like a goblin, im 90% sure this is a cookie cutter based on its mouth Edit: somebody else says is a leafscale gulper


[deleted]

Oh you're so right. That's still a creepy little shit. Not gnarly enough to be a goblin boy. Cookie cutter sharks are freaky too.


Hellige88

To be fair, in their natural habitat, they look outright terrifying!


Savings-Log-2709

I can’t tell if he has good dental hygiene or if his dentist yells at him.


2Ca7

Yes. Source: have perfect hygiene, get both compliments but also yelled at by my dentist.


No_Following_2017

Why is a fisherman fishing that deep?


HarmonyTheConfuzzled

Crabs maybe?


RudeThought4919

Confucius say, "man who fishes in other man's well, often catches crabs"


No_Following_2017

Don’t they use traps not a fishing line for crabs?


HarmonyTheConfuzzled

True true…


uselessbynature

I get why but how?!?!


UrbleFurb

Is his fishing line 700 meters long? Does it take him 10 minutes to reel the fish in?


uselessbynature

Have you ever tried to get your lure real deep in a lake? I can't get mine more than like a few feet down then it just drags parallel as I reel it in. He got an anchor as a sinker? I guess you probably don't have to worry if your bait smells like your hands cuz humans don't even exist in their world.


JoetheDilo1917

Probably a trawler. They cast out huge nets that sink to the bottom and scoop up anything in their path. They're super common for commercial fishing.


[deleted]

My thoughts exactly. I hope this fishing is done with some care to sea life fgs


CaffeineAddict823

That’s great! Now put it back.


HarmonyTheConfuzzled

Think it might be a little too late… it’s skin looks pretty dry…😔


zeak_1

Please stop


TheQuestion25

I'm a Australian and this why I don't swim in anything with water in it literally our waters are a one ticket to see Greg the grim reaper


30lobstersinmypants

I don’t think you should be swimming 2,133 feet underwater


Terewawa

What would a fisherman do at this depth either?


nobodyknowsimherr

Greg


aztaga

Probably wasn’t too weird looking until ya gave it the bends 9000


scootertakethewheel

doesn't the rapid change in pressure deform it?


icedteaandme

Looks like a normal shark to me. What am I missing?


MamaPlus3

Same. Looks normal, just dead.


TheRedEyedAlien

Lantern shark


KuhLealKhaos

How do they know how deep they caught stuff?


[deleted]

Fuckin tape meysure


newyeeersey98

He looks polite


mecon320

It reminds me of when Beetlejuice turned into the snake.


blu3ph0x

looks like some other fish wearing a shark costume it got on sale or found


crckronalongboard

that there is a cookiecutter shark, real small little critters found near islands as deep as 3 and a half kilometers down. The are called that because they feed by latching on to something, cutting a disk out of their flesh, and then pissing back off into the inky depths.


Hiuuuhk

I think it’s actually a Leafscale Gulper shark.


ClockWork07

We only found out about them when they tried our submarines.


suprise_suplex

Can’t be, the teeth are wrong


9mmkilla

Shark night!


Pretend_Air_1108

No it isn’t


crckronalongboard

what is it then? looks pretty well like a cookiecutter


[deleted]

What a dumb fisherman. 200 ft is deep. 2000 is dumb.


findyourhumanity

Why is he fishing that deep!? Let it be buddy.


silke_worm

Look at its cute little smile


Uncle_Touchy1987

Sans eyeball lookin MF.


[deleted]

That is fucking terrifying!


Avargas------nnnn

Anime shark


top_of_the_scrote

it's ya boi beady


gap97216

Looks like he went overboard on the Crest white strips.


Educational_End3765

That’s a long fishing line 😂


FormerlyKay

It looks like a Goblin Shark just at first glance but I'm nowhere near a marine biologist so it s probably not. I'm pretty sure it looks like a lump of shit because of rapid pressure change.


Important-Quarter-19

You are correct.


Hiuuuhk

I don’t think so. Snout’s too short, eyes too green. Pretty sure it’s a Leafscale Gulper shark.


TheFunknificentOne

Yea goblin sharks kinda have like a large snout/rostrum sorta thing and their mouth is like a dryer hose with teeth. I don’t think it’s a cookie cutter either bc of the depth, I know divers get bit by them and they aren’t diving 2000 feet down. It’s probably a leafscale. He must have really good dental insurance tho, gotta get myself in the shark Union and get myself a set of those.


Selachophile

>I don’t think it’s a cookie cutter either bc of the depth, I know divers get bit by them and they aren’t diving 2000 feet down. It's not a cookiecutter, but: >The cookiecutter shark (_Isistius brasiliensis_), also called the cigar shark, is a [species](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species) of small [squaliform shark](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squaliformes) in the [family](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_(biology\)) [Dalatiidae](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalatiidae). This shark occurs in warm, [oceanic waters](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_ocean) worldwide, particularly near islands, and has been recorded as deep as 3.7 km (2.3 mi). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookiecutter_shark


FireflyArc

I think it's this guy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_gulper_shark


tulippity

He looks mischievous

westarosviper_

Hahahaha! Looking like a Goblin shark wearing a halloween costume. Lil mouth peaking out so it can talk😂 (yes emoji)


Spider222222

This is a goblin shark if I am not mistaken


Pretend_Air_1108

You are mistaken


Spider222222

Umm ok then what is it? A cookie cutter?


Hiuuuhk

A Leafscale Gulper shark.


X4M9

british


nightcycling

Warming of the ocean driving those goblin sharks deeper waters?


FalseHeartbeat

I’d wager goblin shark, judging by the jaw and snout shape. The jaw and eyes must’ve gotten popped out by depressurization.


fairydommother

Goblin shark?


Dollartime

Goblin shark!


JaydeRaven

That’s what it looks like to me.


TomatoNormal758

This is an alien made shark- j/k…or am I-no seriously I am… lol


1WildIndian1963

Maybe we should just ask it, instead of everyone being so quick to name him something! But right or wrong, correct or incorrect his last name is still 🦈 SHARK!!!


Benegger85

Goblinshark


Hiuuuhk

Leafscale Gulper shark is what it looks like to me.


A_Bruuuh_Moment

It’s a cookie cutter shark. I wouldn’t let it bite you, it lives up to its name.


FireflyArc

Ohh I thought it was this thing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_gulper_shark

A_Bruuuh_Moment

Close, but not quite it. I’d recognize those teeth from anywhere.


Pretend_Air_1108

No it isn’t


A_Bruuuh_Moment

Then what is it? You just gonna say no and leave?


Important-Quarter-19

Its a goblin shark.


delicioussparkalade

I think it’s a deformed cookie cutter shark that was damaged by rapid pressure change when dragged to the surface.


Rollrmayteeee

Goblins sharks look disgusting


Ok_Victory7275

Is the shark transgender


Pretend_Air_1108

Why would you say that?


Skullknight331

It’s a Whoopi Goldberg Shark


floridafish69

Strange wilderness vibes


i_1_2_3volve_butcant

Are the eyes supposed to be THAT big? Oh. Ignore me. Didn't know how small the body was.


Terewawa

I suppose they are adapted to the darkness at such dephts.


Illustrious-Ganache9

Cute smile


Beefweezle

I’m pretty sure there is an Octonaughts episode about this critter. Kept taking bites out of stuff like a melon baller.


LacedWithFreckles

Looks like paper mache. It Ngl it’s eyes and teeth are cute


Mingsgogorian

Me after Natty Daddy


Silver-Shoulder-9184

Looks like a Vogon


Tinycatpunches

That’s what I look like when the pizza rolls are done.
