Scientists in Australia have discovered a new species of shark with bizarre, human-like molars that it uses to smash down on prey. 

The new species, named painted hornshark (Heterodontus marshallae), is part of the order Heterodontiformes, which are classified by their unique body shape and small horns that protrude from above their eyes.
