Sharks have been around for more than 400 million years. Although not all species of sharks managed to keep their population till modern days. In fact, almost 16 percent of all sharks are threatened with extinction. Here is the list of the rarest sharks in the world.

Megamouth Shark
The megamouth shark is a rare shark and a large species, reaching weights of 1200 kg. It’s one of three known filter feeding sharks, including the basking shark and the whale shark. They gets its name from the remarkably large, circular mouth. This species has 50 rows of tiny teeth on each jaw, but only the first three rows are functional. The megamouth has only been observed in the wild a few times, and less than 60 individuals are known by scientists to ever be captured or observed.

Frilled Shark
The frilled shark is a strange, prehistoric-looking shark that usually lives thousands of meters below the surface in the deepest corners of the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean. This sharks look a bit like underwater snakes. Its long, cylindrical body reaches lengths of nearly 2 m, and its fins
are placed far back on the body. Frilled sharks like to eat fish, squid, octopus and smaller sharks. They are rarely encountered by humans and likely naturally rare.

Pocket Shark
The pocket shark is a species of kitefin shark in the family Dalatiidae. The species is found in deep water off Chile in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. The first pocket shark was discovered in 1979 off the coast of Peru. They lack the pointed snouts typical of many other shark species, having instead a generally rounded head . Some researchers hypothesize that the pockets may excrete some kind of glowing fluid or pheromones.

Two headed sharks
These strange creatures are appearing in waters around the world at an unprecedented rate. They first started appearing in 2008 off the Australian coast. In 2013, fishermen in Florida found a two headed fetus in the uterus of a bull shark . Scientists speculate that causes for the mutations might be linked to viral infections, pollution, or overfishing. With fewer sharks, the
gene pool shrinks, increasing the chances of inbreeding and passing on abnormal genes.
