The Pacific angelshark is a flattened marine shark recognized for its unique, ray-like appearance with broad pectoral fins and a camouflaged, mottled body. Inhabiting coastal waters and sandy bottoms along the Eastern Pacific, it typically grows up to 5 feet in length. It is an ambush predator, lying partially buried in the substrate to capture passing prey with a swift upward strike. This summary is AI generated
