Episode 248: Ghoulish Goblin Sharks

Episode 248: Ghoulish Goblin Sharks

We kick off our "Spooky October" with a unique creature of the deep, the Goblin Shark. While grotesque looking to some, this predator serves a critical role in helping our ocean ecosystem stay healthy. Not only is this shark freaky looking, it has some incredible physiology unseen in other species of sharks. In fact, the Goblin Shark is one of the oldest known species of sharks in our oceans. It has been described as a "living fossil" and is a fun species to learn about. For one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast on Patreon and give back to conservation.
