These small sharks are really cool and their mouths are on the bottom! Did you know that when a shark or ray’s mouth is on the underside it indicates that their prey lives on the bottom of the ocean floor? Pretty cool!

Sharks are scary. I’m glad I’m not a crab or a lobster. I wish my mouth was on the bottom. Then I could eat stuff I see on the ground.
Love and licks,

Hehe- be careful you don’t eat bad stuff on ground :)!
