The frog shark is a very rare species that has such few images, I couldn't find a photograph or a scientific drawing like those used by the shark research institute. It's found in the deep waters of the pacific oceans, and males grow to about 110 cm (43 in) while females can reach about 130 cm (51 in).

Seal sharks, also known as kitefin sharks, are the largest bioluminescent vertebrate on record! They have small, narrow top teeth and large, serrated bottom teeth. This shark tends to reach lengths of around 1.3 m (4.6 ft) and preys on a wide variety of creatures. It's liver is full of oil that keeps its buoyancy neutral and allows it to swim without expending much energy. It is also, however, one of the primary reasons it is heavily fished.
