Cookie-cutter Sharks have big triangular teeth in the lower jaw and have small piercing teeth in the upper jaw. These sharks are not considered dangerous to humans, because of their small size and the fact that they live deep in the ocean. They catch their food by attaching themselves to their prey with sucking lips. Once attached they can spin their body to cut out a chunk of flesh, just like you do with cookie dough and cookie cutters. Cookie cutter sharks bite chunks out of large billfish like marlins and tunas, large squid, seals, whales, dolphins, other sharks, and stingrays. This shark has even been recorded to take a bite out of a nuclear submarine's rubber dome.
