Bahamas Sawshark The Bahamas Sawshark is part of a few select sharks that are named after human tools. You can probably think of one other one too: the Hammerhead Shark. But, the Bahamas Sawshark is much rarer, and arguably has many more unusual characteristics. It's massively flat and long nose is very much like a saw, because it has tons of sharp spikes on it. 9. Frilled Shark After being discovered about 11 years ago, the Frilled Shark has astounded both scientists and the rest of us common folk because of its rather interesting appearance. As some scientists have noted, the Frilled Shark looks like a creature you would find in a national history museum! 8. Indonesian Speckled Carpetshark Right off the bat, the Indonesian Speckled Carpetshark is very different from other sharks. It doesn't swim in the ocean, but it actually "walks" along the ocean floor. It does this with its pectoral fins, which it uses to push off the ground in order to achieve movement. 7. Sharpnose Sevengill Shark The Sharpnose Sevengill Shark gets its name from its obvious physical features. The shark has seven gill slits on each side, and its head is shaped in such a way that its nose is very pointed. Pretty specific name right? You knew exactly what I was talking about!! 6. Megamouth Shark When it comes to rarity, the Megamouth Shark might just be one of the rarest sharks ever found, as it was only discovered in 1976. Since then, it's only been caught on film a mere three times. There are only three types of sharks in the world that are known as "filter feeders", meaning that they eat plankton and other small creatures. The Megamouth Shark is one of those three. 5. Birdbeak Dogfish Shark The Birdbeak Dogfish Shark has an odd name to go along with its very curious appearance. It's name was given to it because of its snout, which looks like a bird’s beak in many people's eyes. I’m not so sure, what do you guys think?? 4. Speartooth Shark Sharks are usually associated with salt water, but the Speartooth Shark is one of only six shark species in the world that are capable of going into freshwater places. Found mostly in Australia and New Guinea, (surprise surprise) these sharks have been documented to actually go into rivers to get food. These guys were only discovered in 1982! 3. Angular Roughshark Here is another example of a shark that doesn't match up to its name in terms of size. The Angular Roughsharks are very tiny sharks compared to their companions, only measuring in at about 3 feet (1 m) in length, if not smaller. What's more, their bodies are actually a bit more compact, thus giving them a rather distinct look. They look very triangular, and even more so with its two dorsal fins. 2. Pyjama Shark The Pyjama Shark, also known as the Striped Catshark, is yet another shark that has a unique body type. It's very loose, and its head is much flatter than most sharks. They aren't too big, as they only grow up to a little over 3 feet in length, but, they are pretty cunning predators. 1. Pocket Shark When it comes to rareness, the Pocket Shark might just be the rarest shark in the world today. I say this because only two have been found in history, and the second was found by accident. During an expedition in Louisiana, several creatures were captured, and put in a freezer in a laboratory. One of these was a Pocket Shark, but they didn't know that at the time.
