Sulu gollumshark

The Sulu gollumshark (Gollum suluensis) is a species of ground shark in the family Pseudotriakidae, found off Palawan Island in the southern Philippines.

[2] This recently discovered species was discovered at a fish market in Palawan during a project led by the World Wildlife Fund during the 1990s to investigate elasmobranch biodiversity in the area.

The Sulu gollumshark derives its name from the Sulu Sea in the Philippines.

[3] They can grow to sizes of 58.5 cm (1.92 ft) in length, and feature darker coloration and a wider head relative to the closely related slender smooth-hound, another species of gollumshark.
