I wish today was Friday the 13th or even Halloween since it would make Wild Fact #666<\/strong> even more creepy.\u00a0 I am also wishing I would have saved the Tasmanian Devil<\/a> or the Thorny Devil <\/a>Wild Fact for today.\u00a0 Oh well, what can you do right?\u00a0 We will have to settle for the Angel Shark which may sound all divine and holy but you should hold off judgment until you hear their other name. \u00a0 This angelic animal is also known as the “Sand Devil” so it actually fits perfectly with today’s theme.<\/p>\n

You may have taken a double look from the title to the picture as the Angel Shark looks nothing like the sharks we typically see.\u00a0 I know I haven’t see the Jaws movie in an awfully long time but I am sure he looked more fierce than this.\u00a0 Although this animal looks more closely related to a skate or a ray they are indeed classed as sharks.\u00a0 They have all the same parts as a shark but somehow managed to get flattened somewhere down the evolutionary line.<\/p>\n

So how did these beautiful creatures get two very different names?\u00a0 Well their flattened pectoral fins look very similar to wings or even a halo.\u00a0 I am just thinking out loud but wouldn’t a shark with wings be really cool to see?\u00a0 I have also heard people mention that the taste of an Angel Shark is truly a heavenly experience.\u00a0\u00a0 On the other end of the spectrum is the pure evil side of the Angel Shark.\u00a0 They have incredibly sharp teeth and are not afraid to use them.\u00a0 I suppose the name “Sand Devil” is appropriate if you were an unsuspecting victim to a vicious Angel Shark bite.\u00a0 I do feel bad for this poor shark as they must be in a constant state of confusion.\u00a0 They have the angel on one side and the devil on the other.\u00a0 How in the world are they suppose to make the right decisions?<\/p>\n

You are in luck if you wanted to get a closer look at this heavenly, divine shark (or evil patron of doom depending which features you look at) as they can be found all over the world.\u00a0 There are 19 species of Angel Shark that can be found in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.\u00a0 There is even a small section of the Indian Ocean that contains the infamous Sand Devils.\u00a0 If you do travel to one of these areas, make sure you bring your diving gear.\u00a0 Angel Sharks are typically found on the ocean floor in either shallow sections or at depths up to 1300 m (4265 feet).\u00a0 That is a long way down!<\/p>\n

That does it for our evil Wild Fact.\u00a0 I will be away for most of next week as I will be soaking up the sun in Victoria.\u00a0 Yes, this means I will be doing a theme next week.<\/p>\n

I do want to warn all of my readers that there could be a disruption in your daily Wild Facts.\u00a0 My computer has been having some major issues (I keep getting the awful Blue Screen of Death) so I am hoping it holds out long enough for me to complete my Wild Facts this weekend.<\/p>\n

Have a great weekend everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
