This Tiny Shark Can Cause Chaos in the Ocean

The cookie-cutter shark may be small, but it's considered dangerous due to its unique feeding habits. This shark, typically about 20 inches long, has a specialized set of teeth designed for removing small circular plugs of flesh from larger marine animals, including whales, dolphins, and even larger fish. These bites can cause significant damage to its prey. Despite its diminutive size, the cookie-cutter shark is an opportunistic predator, latching onto its prey and leaving behind a distinct circular wound. While it might not pose a threat to humans, it's a fascinating example of how nature's diversity can produce unexpected and unique survival strategies.
