125 million years just to be a flabby pink mess. Evolution really took a massive L on this freak.

Soft body, long snout, and hasn't evolved in 125 million years? I'm pretty sure this shark runs half the anonymous troll accounts in my mentions.

Apparently these sharks are total slackers! They have flabby bodies and weak muscles so they just drift around waiting for food. Talk about doing the bare minimum for 125 million years! ~Jennifer
