Sixgill Sharks at the Bait Station: Feeding Time in the Deep

Watch subadult sixgill sharks gather at a bait station for a fascinating glimpse of deep-sea feeding behavior. These ancient-looking sharks move through the water with calm confidence as they investigate and feed, offering a rare view of a species often found in deep, dim habitats. Known scientifically as Hexanchus griseus, sixgills are recognizable by their six gill slits—a feature that sets them apart from most sharks.
