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

- Two spines, one in front of each dorsal (back) fin.1
- No anal fin on the underside.1

Its dorsal spines secrete a mild venom. The spines are driven into an attacker when the shark arches its back.1
