The leopard shark is consistently being hunted for its meat. That statement is true. About ten people are killed by sharks. None of those ten are killed by leopard sharks. In order to breathe the leopard sharks have gill slits.
Gill slits are narrow opening on either side of the sharks body.
Usually, the leopard shark has five gill slits on each side, ten total. A gill raker is part of the leopard shark's gill that keeps food from ecscaping through their gills. Most of the time, the gill raker is inside the mouth. It looks like the bristles on a broom. Sharks are not bony fish.
