Bluntnosed Sixgill Shark Ecofact

In this species profile we look at an animal found in the deep sea, the bluntnosed sixgill shark. To do that we went down in Karl Stanley’s homemade submarine to 2000 feet. Sixgill sharks belong in the order Hexacanthiformes along with 5 other species of primitive shark. As a teacher, this episode is great for teaching about taxonomy and the classification of animals.
