Lamniformes - online puzzles

The Lamniformes (from the Greek word, Lamna " fish of prey") are an order of sharks commonly known as mackerel sharks (which may also refer specifically to the family Lamnidae ). It includes some of the most familiar species of sharks, such as the great white and extinct megalodon, as well as more unusual representatives, such as the goblin shark and megamouth shark.

Members of the order are distinguished by possessing two dorsal fins, an anal fin, five gill slits, eyes without nictitating membranes, and a mouth extending behind the eyes. Also, unlike other sharks, they maintain a higher body temperature than the surrounding water.
