Teeth very small, numerous, hooked (Ref. 43278, 6871, 47787). Gill slits moderately long, not reaching dorsal surface of head (Ref. 6871; 43278), internal gill slits lined with dense rows of papillose gill rakers (Ref. 43278).

Oceanic, possibly occurring in depths between 150 and 1,000 m (Ref. 6871). Epi- and mesopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feeds on planktivorous prey such as euphausiid shrimps, copepods and jellyfish (Ref. 6871). May also eat small midwater fishes. Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449). Possibly less active than the basking and whale sharks (Ref. 6871). Its feeding habits and habitat suggest that it may be a rare catch in the future. Ovoviviparous, embryos feeding on yolk sac and other ova produced by the mother (Ref. 50449). Males mature by 400 cm (Ref. 6871). A bright white band on the snout just above the upper jaw may play a role in feeding behavior or with recognition of individuals (Ref. 47761). Preyed on by the semi-parasitic cookiecutter shark, Isistius brasiliensis.
大洋性的, 可能地深度介于 150 与 1,000 公尺之间出现在.(参考文献 6871) 吃食浮游生物的猎物例如磷虾,桡脚类的动物与水母。 (参考文献 6871) 可能也吃小的中层水域鱼。 卵胎生的.(参考文献 50449) 可能比较不活跃超过象鲛与鲸鲨.(参考文献 6871) 它的食性与栖息地显示出它未来可能是一个稀有的。 卵胎生的, 胚胎吃产生于母亲的卵黄囊与其他的卵.(参考文献 50449) 雄性成熟 400 公分。 (参考文献 6871) 在上颌的正上方的在吻部上的一条亮白色的条紋可能扮演攝取食物的行為的一個角色或具有個體的辨認.(參考文獻 47761) 被半-寄生的雪茄鯊, 雪茄鮫〔Isistius brasiliensis〕 捕食了。
