The Angelsharks
are flat-bodied sharks, very ray-like. They bury themselves
in the sand or mud with only the eyes and part of the
top of the body exposed. They have a blunt snout and
are camouflaged to blend into the sand and rocks of
the ocean bed. They have long, wide fins that look like
wings, giving it its name. It is also known as the monk
shark, sand devil, and monkfish. Angelsharks are frequently
caught for food.
