Fish

The sixgill sawshark, Pliotrema warreni, is a sawshark of the family Pristiophoridae. Unlike other sawsharks, the barbs on its rostrum continue onto the sides of its head, and its barbels sit closer to its mouth than in other species. Females can reach over 136 centimeters in length, and males over 112 centimeters.
