Atlantic angel shark

Angel sharks enter Los Lobos' sandy corridors from October through April, following the same seasonal pattern observed across the Canary Islands. At El Muelle they are often found within 20 m of the jetty steps in as little as 8 m of water — unusually shallow for this species. The marine reserve status of Los Lobos means these individuals experience virtually no boat anchor disturbance, likely contributing to their tolerance of close approach by cautious divers.
