Do you know any cookie cutter shark facts or lantern shark facts

Etmopterus perryi or Dwarf Lantern Sharks

Dwarf Lantern Sharks are so cute! They grow to be a maximum of 20 cm (7.9 in) and live in the Bathypelagic zone at depths of 1,000 - 3,000 m (3,300 – 9,800 ft). This zone is also known as the midnight zone because there is no light. This is why this shark has really large eyes comparative to its body size! This shark, like some other deep-sea sharks, can glow! They have organs known as photophores on its underside, used as camouflage and to attract prey.

These sharks are rarely seen, so there's still a lot we don't know about them!

Thanks for the ask; a post about cookie cutter sharks will be up soon, and I'll link it here!

AMBER🍮🦈

Amber takes joy in eating the Cores of other Crystal beings like him and keeping them stored inside his transparent body to showcase as trophies. Just like the name suggests, he possesses a strange goopy texture that allows him to shapeshift to an extent and trap objects inside. He is heartless and commits such acts for nothing other than fun

🦈 Daily Shark Fact: 🦈

Dwarf Lantern Sharks are the smallest shark in the world, reaching a maximum known length of 8 in. They have photophores, or organs which produce light, along their lower bodies. They use that light much like how an anglerfish does, drawing prey to it for them to feed on. They share this ability with their cousins, like the Kitefin shark.
