Prickly Dogfish

This shark might be called a dogfish, but the fuzzy-looking stuff on its body isn’t fur. Instead, it earned the moniker “prickly” for its highly textured, bristly skin. It also has a distinctive body shape, being especially tall from belly to back and sporting not one but two large dorsal fins. Unfortunately for this shark, those protruding fins can get it into trouble: they make it more likely to get caught in nets, especially since its depth range overlaps with that of fishers’ trawls.
