The sharpnose seven-gill shark, Heptranchias perlo, is a big eyed deepwater shark with seven gill slits on each side of its body. It is also known as the one-finned shark, the perlon shark, and the sevengill cow shark.
The sharpnose seven-gill shark has a narrow head, and a single dorsal fin. Its tail is about half the length of its body, a third of its overall length. The shark's maximum length is 137 cm. Females are usually about 90 cm and males are about 85 cm. At birth, the shark is 26 cm. Its color can be grey, olive, or dun. The tips of juvenile's fins are darkly colored. This species' lower jaw contains comb-like teeth.
