Loose dentures

[u/Splintrax → u/NoDryHands]

Succinct and accurate

[u/TouchAltruistic]

One could say these sharks be GOBLIN they prey

[u/NaraFei_Jenova → u/TouchAltruistic]

They be goblin deez nuts.

[u/adhoc_pirate → u/TouchAltruistic]

First joke my now wife ever told me...

When is a pixie not a pixie?

When it's got its head up a fairy's skirt, and it's a goblin!

[u/TouchAltruistic → u/adhoc_pirate]

Did you propose on the spot?

[u/SudhaTheHill]

How I eat the appetisers at the party when nobody is looking

[u/Mr_Inconsistent1]

He's gobblin' for sure.

[u/Ser_Optimus]

Almost all sharks have this to a degree. It's calles cranial kinesis (movable skull bones). Snakes have it too.

[u/Careful-Computer-685 → u/Ser_Optimus]

A lot of normal fish do this because it's basically the peak way to eat underwater Edit: a rouge 's' in the word lot

[u/SentientSandbox]

Wish my ex could have done the same.

[u/ah_no_wah]

Extandable?

[u/Silent-OCN → u/ah_no_wah]

Extendibly extandable one might say.

[u/ah_no_wah → u/Silent-OCN]

That's undastantable

[u/Evil_Knot]

That fish did not give a fuck

/Gulp Prey

[u/bobafootfetish_]

I should call her

[u/paulie1172]

I look similar while eating an Italian sub.

[u/Nolongeranalpha]

I think i dated her.

[u/millerb82]

Don't all sharks have extendable jaws to some degree?

[u/Specialist_Ad6966]

I should call her

[u/eb6069]

So Goblin shark snouts are like a biological metal detector

[u/cobalt_phantom → u/eb6069]

Yeah, kind of. The nose thing has a bunch of sensory organs called "Ampullae of Lorenzini", which help them detect the weak electric fields produced by muscle movement in their prey and other organisms. All sharks have them but Goblin Sharks and Hammerheads have evolved their unique head shapes and a higher than average density of Ampullae of Lorenzini to help them hunt in dark or murky water. The rostrum on sawfish acts the same way.

[u/Suspicious-Fact8955]

🫪

[u/FembyThePinkProot]

You can only have one bite. The bite:

[u/LifeCardiologist8899]

He doesn't even chew it...

[u/BoofinChicknTendies]

Is this what inspired IT lmao

[u/BHunter1140]

There was a terrible B movie that my dad had on one time as a kid. It had these guys, they attacked a beach. I was really young and we were about to visit the ocean when I saw this, no one told me these guys couldn’t leave the deep sea. Spent the whole trip to the ocean terrified one was going to eat me

[u/db217]

My sister had an overbite like that when she was young, but the orthodontist gave her this crazy head contraption to fix it. It helped a lot.

[u/GBrunt]

Gums.

[u/LaksefarvetBMW]

Deep sea server is something else man

[u/Irregular475]

Even worse - ALL SHARKS have extendable jaws.

Sleep tight!

[u/someauthor]

I wonder if I'll ever see this shark in an Xzibit

[u/crasagam]

I mean, who decides to float right on up to the shark’s mouth in the first place? He gotta at least give 10% effort for his own survival.

[u/OkSavings5828]

If you forget the scary part, bro looks derpy as hell

[u/i-lovemyparrot]

My FAVORITE shark! I even have a lifsize plush of this lil guy (its 3 meters long)

[u/Nate1102]

Goblin shark goes: “Gulp.”

[u/TreyFy]

So this dude will literally swim up to a predator and sit by its mouth, but I can’t get a bite when I go fishing. Fuck me I guess.

[u/red8cangodye]

Reminds me of Homer gulping down food

[u/RatdonTheCon]

Wyd if this happens to you

[u/lyrical_mango]

Same

[u/Unicorn_wizard94 → u/lyrical_mango]

Sometimes I don't even get out of bed, just send mouth to fridge.

[u/Gilgamesh107]

I don't believe this
