The spotted three-toothed shark is a bottom-dwelling marine fish up to 1.8 meters long. It lives off the western coast of South America and is easily recognized by dark spots on its gray body.
The Spotted Triangular-toothed Shark differs from related species by its unique pattern of dark spots and tooth structure with three cusps. It regulates the population of small marine animals and serves as food for larger predators.
Locomotion through water employed while searching for or capturing prey.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
