They have a flabby body and small fins so they swim slower than other sharks.

What are the goblin sharks habits?

The goblin shark has many bad habits. At around the age of 14, they usually fall in with a bad crowd; tiger sharks, bull sharks, HAMMERHEADS, etc. Around this time, they begin smoking... heroine typically. They're also known to sleep around and break the hearts of dolphins and nurse sharks. Around the age of 30, when most sharks will typically begin to settle down, the goblin shark will spend exorbitant amounts of money on superficial things. It wouldn't be uncommon to see a goblin shark driving around in a new Corvette with a young (highly paid) Angel Shark. As they get older, they only get goblinier, so don't ever think you can trust them... just last week I was pick-pocketed by a 50 year old goblin while vacationing in Tasmania. All in all, after years of tireless research and sitting in on numerous goblinterventions, I would have to say they ALL share these bad habits, and ALL must be watched CAREFULLY. You're welcome.
