  • Hybodus is a genus of prehistoric hybodont sharks that lived during the late Permian to late Cretaceous periods.
  • Hybodus was a shark that would have behaved much like modern sharks. It had a spine on its back to prevent predators from eating it. No-one knows how Hybodus got its name. It existed 230-90 million years ago, and would attack Leedsichthys and Ophthalmosaurus. It could grow up to 2 metres in length.
  • Hybodus species grew to about 2 m in length, and are believed to have been opportunist predators. It was not very big, but had the classic streamlined shark shape, complete with two dorsal fins that would have helped it steer with precision. The mouth was not large, and rather than ruthlessly hunt large prey, Hybodus, was capable of eating a wide range of foods. They had several distinct features that made them stand apart from other primitive sharks: they had two different types of teeth (both sharp and flat), suggesting a wide diet (sharp for catching slippery prey, flat for crushing shelled creatures) , a bony blade on their dorsal fin for apparent protection, and the development of "claspers". These specialized organs aid males in reproduction by directly inserting sperm into the femal
