Why is the cookie cutter shark called the cookie cutter?
Asked by Wiki User
Many cetaceans and large fish, including other sharks, suffer when cookiecutter sharks are around. This small, cigar-shaped shark is a parasite that bites chunks out of its prey. Using its unique thick, flexible lips to hold onto its victim by suction, it then twists itself around so that its razor-sharp lower teeth bite out a cookie-shaped piece of flesh. It is active at night, luring its victims with glowing green bioluminescent lights on its belly. It also preys on squid and crustaceans.
What if a shark cut you and off how do you treat it?
Asked by Wiki User
If a shark cut me off I would honk my horn until he looked and then maybe give him the middle finger. Unless he was a big white or a hammerhead in which case I would just honk. Sharks are terrible drivers and I am not even sure why we give them licenses in the first place.
Make sure
- there are no police around because they could pull you over for being a disturbance
- you keep paying attention to the road and other cars after it cuts you off
- if you practice defensive driving you will be safer!
- keep your cool! if a shark cuts you off and you are going to be late maybe next time you could remember to leave earlier!
