Will someone please just list what the seven are? I'm on a state computer, and the site is blocked.

Frilled sharks are awesome, by the way.

Actually it looks like the lampreys we have are non parasitic. Still sketchy though.

Awesome, thank you!

I LOVE many of these species... The goblin shark is one of my favorites, actually. They're badass.

I love how they describe lamprey as "condoms with teeth."

Yup, the deacons jaws seem to be taken from the goblin shark. Alien's inner mouth seems to draw inspiration from a moray eels inner mouth.
