Various anatomical features of the goblin shark, such as its flabby body and small fins, suggest that it is sluggish in nature. Some researchers believe that these sharks could also dive to depths of up to 1,300 m (4,270 ft), for short periods of time.

Goblin sharks are benthopelagic creatures that inhabit upper continental slopes, submarine canyons, and seamounts throughout the world at depths greater than 100 m (330 ft), with adults found deeper than juveniles.

It is usually between 3 and 4 m (10 and 13 ft) long when mature, though it can grow considerably larger such as one captured in 2000 that is thought to have measured 6 m (20 ft). This pink-skinned animal has a distinctive profile with an elongated, flat snout, and highly protrusible jaws containing prominent nail-like teeth. Sometimes called a ' living fossil', it is the only extant representative of the family Mitsukurinidae, a lineage some 125 million years old. The goblin shark ( Mitsukurina owstoni) is a rare species of deep-sea shark. Scapanorhynchus dofleini Engelhardt, 1912.
