Template:Sharksportal The flaccid catshark, Apristurus exsanguis, is a cat shark of the family Scyliorhinidae found only around New Zealand, at depths of between 575 and 1,200 m. Its length is up to 91 cm.
The flaccid catshark has a flaccid, seemingly bloodless, body with a broad flattened head, a moderately elongated snout, and large nostrils. The dorsal fins are similarly sized. There is a very elongated low anal fin separated from an elongated caudal fin by a small notch.
Coloration is pale grey to pale brown.
Reproduction is oviparous, with eggs in large grooved capsules with long tendrils.
