The African angel shark is a greyish or red-brown shark that lives in ocean floors from 10 to 4,300 feet deep off the coast of Africa. It has sharp teeth and a flattened body like a board that allows it to bury itself in sand and mud to avoid predators. The African angel shark is an endangered consumer that eats small bony fish but is threatened by overfishing for its skin and the garbage humans put in the ocean. Conservation efforts aim to educate people to stop killing the sharks and clean up trash.
