	Wildlifeonline - Natural History of the Megamouth Shark
		Indeed, Yamaguchi and Nakaya concluded that this female Megamouth had been bitten by a small Cookiecutter Shark (Isistius brasiliensis).
		Isistius brasiliensis is one of three similar species placed in the Dalatiidae family (Sleeper sharks) and is a smallish shark – growing to a maximum of about 56cm (nearly 2ft) – that spends much of its days in deep waters (below 1000m / 3289ft), migrating up to the surface at night.
		Morphological study of this little shark found it to possess specialized suctorial lips and a strongly modified pharynx, allowing it to attach to its victim (much like a plunger), sink its impressive batch of razor sharp teeth in and rotate around its axis.

		There are two known species of cookiecutter sharks: the cookiecutter shark (Isistius brasiliensis) and the largetooth cookiecutter shark (Isistius plutodus).
