Best Answer

The long jaws of the frilled shark are highly extendable with an extremely wide gape, allowing it to swallow whole prey over half its size. However, the frilled shark can not deliver a strong bite.

Frilled sharks eat cephalopods (such as molluscs), osteichthyes (also known as bony fishes), and smaller sharks. The many needle-like teeth of the frilled shark are suited for ripping soft-bodied squid.
