The Australian Museum explained that the reason this rare goblin shark is so unusual lies in its "alien-like" jaws.



The museum’s fish collection manager, Mark McGrouther, told AFP: "I suspect because it has soft, flabby muscles, it doesn’t need much energy… So it slowly moves across the seabed using its snout like a metal detector."

and its appearance has gone viral on the Internet.

It sweeps over the bottom, and when it detects a small fish, crab, or squid, it ‘shoots’ those jaws out—bang!—and catches it.



"It stabs the prey with those sharp fang-like teeth, then swallows it whole."
