GULPER SHARK
RARE "Gulper" shark,  has highly unusual teeth, "scissor-like", very collectible; average size of jaw is 2-1/2" x 2-1/4".
Gulper shark is a large dogfish that has reflective green eyes.  A deep dwelling shark down to 9000 feet, fished off the coast of NW Africa and West-Central Mediterranean, these were caught off the coast of Pakistan.  It eats lantern fish and other deep sea bony fishes.
THESE SHARKS ARE NOT CAUGHT FOR THEIR JAWS.  All shark jaws are obtained from the legal fishing industry in the Philippines and off the coast of India in the Indian Ocean.   These sharks are caught for their hides & meat.  The jaws & teeth are sold as a collectible to recycle 100% of the shark.
We do not support sport fishing, illegal taking of sharks, we don't even eat in restaurants that serve Shark Fin soup due to the cruel and wasteful nature of shark finning.  We do not catch sharks ourselves.
