because it looks funny
A goblin Shark's cousin is the shark from JAws.
The goblin shark does not swallow its food whole. Instead, it uses its protrusible jaws to extend its mouth forward and snatch prey. Once caught, the goblin shark uses its razor-sharp teeth to tear chunks of flesh from its prey before swallowing.

no one knows yetNo, The Goblin Shark (Mitsukurina Owstoni) is not endangered. It was thought to have been because the shark tends to reside in deeper waters. The shark is, however, extremely rare which is another reason it was though to be endangered.

The goblin shark's nose, or rostrum, can be quite long, typically measuring about one-third of its total body length. In adult goblin sharks, this can range from 1 to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 feet) in length. The elongated snout contains specialized electroreceptors that help the shark detect prey in deep waters.
