Husbandry
Ayres, 1859
The Pacific angelshark is a sluggish and inactive skark, that often is burried in sand or mud.
Divers and snorkelers should be very careful when approcing, the shark can whip up its head and snap very quickly when touched, provoked, harassed, or even speared, so the fish can cause very painful lacerations!
Best left the shark in the wild!
