I took a stroll along the beach today. I literally have never seen a ratfish in person! There were at least a dozen washed up today. This one was basically undamaged. So weird cool. West coast Canada.

Ok its #friday and that means you have to stop thinking about the end of the world and think about sex teeth in the ratfish.

Critter Highlight: Spotted Ratfish (Hydrolagus colliei)
This cartilaginous fish gets its characteristic name from a pointed rat-like tail and large nose. They have a venomous spine located at the leading edge of their dorsal fin, which is used in defense. #marinelife #nature #ratfish
