Georgia [21]
The answer is right below.

The bulk of this species’ diet consists of fish in the teleost infraclass, including dragonfish, rattails, anglerfish, and more. They are also known to feed on crustaceans and cephalopods like squid.

These sharks will prey on fish found both on the sea floor and in the water column. Because they are so slow moving, scientists believe these sharks are ambush predators. Their pinkish-red skin actually blends in when in the deep sea.

How does the change in the estrogen level corrrespond to the gradual thickening of the uterine lining
vfiekz [6]
<span>The gradual thickening of the uterine lining also called Endometrial Hyperplasia is often caused by having excess estrogen without enough progesterone to balance it. During menstruation, the estrogen causes the lining to thicken in preparation for pregnancy. When the progesterone is made during the second half of the cycle and the progesterone levels drop, the lining is shed. And if the ovulation didn’t occur, progesterone is not made and the lining is not shed properly, the lining will keep on building gradually that may lead to cancer in some women.         </span>
