Occupying vast stretches of ocean floor across multiple basins, the species demonstrates geographic reach disproportionate to how little it is observed. It exists across thousands of kilometers almost invisibly.
Such distribution suggests deep-sea habitats may be more interconnected than surface ecosystems. The frilled shark traverses a global environment largely detached from human maritime traffic.
