The goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) is a rare, poorly known species of deep-sea shark.
This species looks unlike any other shark, with a long flattened snout, highly protrusible jaws containing prominent nail-like teeth, and pink coloration.
The common name “goblin shark” is a translation of its old Japanese name tenguzame, a tengu being a Japanese mythical creature often depicted with a long nose and red face.

All I’m saying is I’m glad Great White’s don’t have those extendable jaws.
