The Angelshark is a species of cartilaginous fish being situated between the shark and the ray. Its size varies from 1,80 up to 2,50m.
He lives generally half-buried on the bottom until a prey passes in its reach. He feeds on osseous fishes, rays, shellfish and on mollusks. He is adapted to cold waters as well as hot.
We meet him close to the coasts of the Northeast of the Atlantic Ocean, in the South of Norway but also in the Mediterranean Sea on the West of Sahara in 150m of depth. The skin is brown with darker spots.
Between Nice and Antibes, Bay of Angels took his name because of his presence formerly in these waters. Today the Angelshark is in critical danger of extinction mainly because of the overfishing.
