School shark

The rig, also known as the tope or soupfin shark, is a sleek predator found in temperate oceans worldwide. It hunts both in open water and near the seafloor, growing up to 2 meters long. Sadly, overfishing for its meat, fins, and vitamin-rich liver has pushed this shark to critically endangered status.

• Gives birth to live young instead of laying eggs.
• Its liver contains extremely high levels of vitamin A.
• Dives as deep as 800 meters below the surface.
