The cookie-cutter shark is named for the perfectly cratered shape of its bite, but the moniker is only accurate if you imagine a spherical cookie, such as Mexican wedding cookies, rum balls or misshapen macaron.
The shark is an excellent ambusher, suctioning onto flesh with its full, luscious lips in a seemingly saccharine kiss.
The domed plugs of flesh the shark swallows can come from any large, fleshy creature, living or dead.
Despite being so small and pernicious, the cookie-cutter shark is not easy prey.
The shark can render itself nearly invisible using the smear of glowing, blue-green light organs on its belly.
When they are hungry, the ocean is their pantry, and within it, nothing is off-limits.
