Shark fact

Magamouth sharks are a rare species of deep sea shark. They are filter feeders, using their large mouths to eat while swimming through the ocean.

According to the Florida Museum, between 1976 and 2022 there had been 273 confirmed sightings of these sharks internationally, the large majority happening as by-catch in Taiwan, but there has been likely more unreported sightings by fishers who released them back into the water due to their large size(approximately 5 meters, or 16 feet in length).

Because of the rare sightings of the magamouth shark, scientists do not know how big their population is, making the conservation status marked as "least concern."
