Shark is one of the most feared creatures found on the planet Earth. People are scared of them but still are loved by some while some hunt them.

There are over 400 species of shark across the world. We have listed down the top ten unusual sharks.

Angel Shark (Squatina squatina): These sharks are critically endangered species found in North-eastern Atlantic. These sharks look more like a ray than a member of its own species. They are flat and have widebodies.
Horn Shark (Heterodontus francisci): These sharks are found along the Western Coasts of the Americas. They have short, blunt heads with high ridges above the eyes and large fin spines.
Great Hammerhead Shark (Sphyrna mokarran): They are endangered species found in most of the world’s ocean. They can be easily seen because of their hammer-shaped heads. Their eyes are placed on either side of the hammer, allowing them to see larger areas.
