Pacific Spiny Dogfish

Coasts of California
== Other info ==
They have mildly venomous spines in front of each dorsal fin.
They are ovoviviparous, which means that they produce eggs that hatch within the body before the pups are born. The pups hatch and the egg shells are shed after 4-6 months, but they will continue gestating for another 18-20 months before they are finally born. 
Females will usually migrate from deeper to more shallow waters during their pregnancy.
