The video evidence suggests that while the jaws are definitely unique, goblin sharks use ram feeding, a type of prey capture that is typical of many mackerel sharks. [30] What makes the goblin shark unique is the kinematics of their jaw when feeding. The lower jaw seems to undergo more complex movements and is important in capturing the prey.
Some fish have permanently protruding rostrums which evolved from their upper jawbones. Billfish (marlin, swordfish and sailfish) use rostrums (bills) to slash and stun prey. Paddlefish, goblin sharks and hammerhead sharks have rostrums packed with electroreceptors which signal the presence of prey by detecting weak electrical fields.
They are found in the open ocean from near the surface, down to depths of at least 4265 feet (1300 m). Scientists believe that Goblin Sharks are solitary, just like many other shark species. They also think that the fish are most active in the morning and evening. The Goblin Shark primarily feeds on teleost fishes such as rattails and dragonfish.
