Spiny dogfish
The spiny dogfish is a small, well-known shark with a sharp spine in front of each of its two back fins. It lives in shallow and offshore waters in most parts of the world, especially cooler seas, and it is hunted heavily for food. Its spines are its main form of defence.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera
- Two spines, one in front of each dorsal (back) fin.1
- No anal fin on the underside.1
- White spots along its back.1
- Greyish brown on both sexes, with countershading (darker on top, paler underneath).1
- Asymmetrical tail lobes, forming a heterocercal tail (the upper lobe is larger).1
Kitera okutabulwa ne: Several shark species share the names dogfish, spurdog and piked dogfish. Spiny dogfish are told apart by having two spines, one in front of each dorsal fin, and no anal fin.1
