The Megamouth
Shark is easily recognised by its huge, soft head and
large mouth which is positioned at the anterior margin
of the head. The inside of the mouth is silvery, and
the jaws are covered with many small, hook-like teeth.
The Megamouth Shark has two unequal sized dorsal fins,
a strongly heterocercal tail, and lacks any distinctive
body markings. Its color varies from grey to blueish-black
above and is pale grey below. The tips of most of the
fins are usually white.
