Fakta
Adult males have a club-like cephalic clasper on the head, an organ not found in any other vertebrate, which they use to hold on to females during courtship.1
Its large eyes reflect light, much like the eyes of a cat.1
It swims with its large pectoral fins, and its barrel rolls and corkscrew turns have been described as aquatic flight.1
Its teeth are plate-shaped, mineralised and permanent, unlike the easily replaced teeth of sharks, and they help it grind prey.1
Its ampullary organs on the head detect electric fields, and they are homologous to the ampullae of Lorenzini found in sharks and rays.1
Its meat is not typically eaten by humans and it is not commercially caught.1
