    The Mexican hornshark ( Heterodontus mexicanus) is a bullhead shark of the family Heterodontidae. This shark is grey-brown in color, with black spots scattered on the fins and body. It has a cylindrical trunk, conical head, and small spiracles behind the eyes. The snout of the Mexican hornshark is very round and blunt.
    The Horn Shark is a common, small, warm temperate to subtropical benthic endemic shark. It is found on the continental shelf from the intertidal zone out, to a depth of 152 m, although it is most common at a depth of 2-11 m. During the winter, this species migrates into deeper waters, usually below 30 m.
    Not much about the feeding habits of the Mexican hornshark is known, but it most likely feeds on shelled invertebrates. Because of its size, this shark poses no danger to humans. The Mexican hornshark is listed as least concern by the IUCN Red List.
    Mexican hornsharks caught as bycatch are either discarded or used in fishmeal. If released back into the water, these sharks are hardy enough to survive, but unfortunately many discarded hornsharks are left on beaches to die. Overall, the threat to Mexican hornsharks is considerable, as their range is restricted and they are frequently caught.
