Found this on a beach in somerset, at first i thought it was a dogfish but i think it's to big (About 3-4ft and alot chunkier than a dogfish)
The picture makes it look smaller than it was.
Would i be right in thinking it's a smooth hound?
thanks  |

Thanks Ron and dogghound.
How can you tell the difference between the starry and normal smooth hound?
