About Angel Sharks You've heard the phrase
Angel sharks are a really unique species of shark. They have flat bodies and extremely long pelvic and pectoral fins, so they are often mistaken for rays. However, unlike rays, these bottom-dwelling sharks use their long fins to steer. Adult angel sharks are usually 5 feet long but some species, like the Japanese Angel Shark can grow up to 6.5 feet. An average angel shark weighs around 77 pounds. In the wild, angel sharks can live between 25 and 35 years old. Sometimes angel sharks are referred to as monkfish and ironically the sand devil. They are mostly nocturnal and spend their time hiding just below the surface in the mud or sand. They use the bioluminescent of plankton to see their prey. Angel sharks use camouflage to trap their prey. Their skin is usually mottled with brown, black, grey, green, white, and red spots to look like the mud or sand. The underside of an angel shark is usually smooth and white. Angel sharks are carnivores that eat fish, mollusks, squid, and various crustaceans. They particularly like flatfishes and skates. They are ambush hunters sensing when prey comes near, they strike at a 90 degree angle with a powerful suction, and grab their prey within a 1/10 of a second. Angel sharks tend to bury themselves in flat sandy and muddy areas between rocks near reefs, submarine canyons, and kelp forests where fish are plentiful. They tend to hunt from the same place for about ten days then move on to a new spot. They usually stay in small areas of about 50 feet and it is rare to see them in open water unless they are migrating for the season. Angel sharks have eyes on the top of their heads that they use to see their prey.
