Every year, between August and December, great white sharks arrive at the western coast of Mexico, and people jump into the ocean to see them. Operators chum the waters to lure in the sharks, while divers enter in floating steel cages.

On 25 August 2010, one of these divers, Gerardo del Villar, saw a great white shark off Guadalupe Island with two odd wounds on its head. One was a crescent-shaped scar. The other was a round crater, still open and bloody. Both were just behind the corner of the young male’s fearsome mouth. Del Villar took photos of the animal and sent them to a team of scientists, including Yannis Papastamatiou from the Florida Museum of Natural History.

He had seen wounds like these before. “A wound from a hook should leave more of a hole and would not be as smooth,” he says. Instead, Papastamatiou thinks that they were the bite-marks of another shark, just a sixth of the size—a cookie-cutter. “I dont know of any other animal that leaves a bite like that.”

There are three species of cookie-cutter sharks, but only one that’s known to swim off Mexico – Isistius brasiliensis. It looks like a demonic cigar. It’s a small cat-sized animal with chocolate-coloured skin, a rounded snout, and large green eyes. Beneath the bizarre head, its lower jaw contains what looks like a saw—a row of huge, serrated teeth, all connected at their bases.
