Shark teeth can happen at any time, but they are most common during two periods in a child's development. The first time is around age 6, when the lower front teeth usually grow in. The second is around age 11, when the upper back molars appear.
In fact, the female Frilled Shark has a trunk proportionately longer than that of the male, presumably to make room for developing young in a remarkably attenuate body. But what is downright astonishing is the duration of the gestation period, estimated to be as much as 42 months (3.5 years). If this is correct, the gestation period of the Frilled Shark is nearly twice as long as that of an African Elephant (22 months) and by far the longest of any vertebrate animal.
