The Cookiecutter Shark 🍪

The cookiecutter shark's ventral surface is covered with photophores, rendering it nearly invisible in the light. The non-illuminating collar around its neck forms a shadow, attracting prey. When prey approaches, the cookiecutter shark bites off a piece of flesh, creating circular wounds. Their prey includes fish, sharks, whales, and even parts of submarines covered with soft rubber.

The submarine’s no joke, either. They’ve literally forced these subs to return to port because the rubber they removed was protecting something too vital to leave exposed to the open ocean. In other words, sharks no bigger than your arm took on the U.S. Navy and *won.*

No point wasting the nutrition in teeth. Reuse, recycle ♻️

It's thought they swallow their teeth due to the lack of calcium in their diet. Considering how strong those teeth need to be in order to bite through steel netting, it would be difficult to ensure enough calcium otherwise while eating predominantly chunks of just flesh.

[@GiovanniConte-ti5wm]

Fun fact: the cookie-cutter shark eating a piece of the submarine in the video is a reference of a happening during the cold war. There were numerous reports of damage to the American submarines, something or someone was breaking the cables of the external equipments, so they had to come back to get repaired. They started thinking that it was a secret weapon invented by the Soviets, but the thing they didn't know was that even they had the same problem. In the end, it was discovered to be none other than the cookie-cutter shark. Edit: oh man I didn't expect this many likes, I dedicate this to my one and only captian, BARBASCURA X!

[@lisasteeves9385]

When Cookiecutter sharks replaced their teeth, they swallowed them digest them and grew back.

[@lisasteeves9385]

Cookiecutter shark is one cocky shark. It'll swim right up to a large shark, large whale, a large fish, and just bite a chunk right out. They do that with these suction cup like lips and needle-like upper teeth, which could use to suction on to a whale to make a bite. And then they have these broad fuesd lower teeth that are very strong, and they used to scoop out a cookiecutter shaped chunk, and that's how they get their name. the Cookiecutter Shark is not a large. In fact, this is a world record. the largest one ever seen. But they eat parts of very large prey like whales and dolphins and other sharks and Mahi-mahis and tunes and swordfish. We learn a lot about cookiecutter sharks from the prey they attacked. Some of the interactions with cookiecutter sharks are known from scars that are found on fish from commercial fish rays like tunas and swordfish. The other thing that makes a cookiecutter shark so weird is that its belly glows in the dark as you look at them from bellow. They blend in with the sunlight. and all you see are the black marks that make them look like skinny fish swimming by. cookiecutter sharks are so small, almost as big as a cat, and not as long as a pencil.

[@heinrichharkonen2084]

How strong does your bite has to be in order to take a chunk of a submarine?

[@VincentMothling]

From what I have red they normaly take bites out of the rubber bits

[@dustinwashburn1283]

Ships, subs, and buoys often had rubber coating certain parts of them at one point. Submarines in particular had them covering vital equipment. So, the soft fleshy rubber was a prime target for the Cookiecutter. Which meant the Navy had to keep bringing their vessels in to repair the rubber. The Navy uses fiberglass these days instead to cover those parts.
