Types of peculiar shark in the sea. Second. Frilled shark Its name comes from the deep gills on both sides of its body. The gills give it a unique fringed appearance. They look much closer to a large eel than a shark. They are quite frightening to see. Their fins and body shape are the main reason for this, but they are also smaller than what most people expect. They have more than 300 spiked teeth in their jaw that have a trident-like appearance. More than 20 rows of teeth line both the upper and lower jaw; each row contains roughly seven teeth stacked together for optimal hunting. The jaw is massive, seaming almost unnatural with how easily it opens to an impressive width. Third. Basking shark The basking shark is the second-largest living shark, behind the whale shark. The most significant difference is the basking shark’s massive jaw. However, basking sharks are among the most docile, passive, and harmless of the shark family. When a female basking shark becomes pregnant, the shark pups inside her feed on other unfertilized eggs inside her womb. Oddly, the female’s right ovary is the only reproductive organ to function. No one knows precisely why. When they feed, they open their massive mouths and slowly glide through the clouds of plankton as the gill rakers remove the tiny plankton from the water. They were easy prey because they feed at the surface and move very slowly.
