Divers free a Megamouth shark from a fishing net in Tateyama Bay.

The Megamouth is a large deep-sea shark,  rarely seen by people.  Despite reaching a considerable adult size of 4m-5.2m,  they are the smallest of the filter-feeding sharks,  which includes the Basking Shark and the Whale Shark..  Their large mouths are lined with bioluminescent photophores,  which are thought to attract plankton and fish to the slow-moving shark.

Despite their fearsome appearance,  Sand Tiger Sharks are a docile and passive species.  Their tame nature and natural hardiness make them one of the few large sharks able to be housed in captivity.
