Cookie cutter sharks typically grow to about 16 to 22 inches in length. They are one of the smallest shark species, with a unique feeding behavior of taking small circular bites out of their prey, leaving a distinctive cookie-like wound.
Cookie-cutter sharks are found in tropical waters, and Hawaii is no exception. I have seen these sharks' signatures on the sides of monk seals, and a friend tells me she has seen them on tunas at fish auctions.
The cookiecutter shark, Isistius brasiliensis, also known as the cigar shark or luminous shark, is a small, rarely-seen dogfish shark. It takes bites out of things shaped like cookies.
It is mostly black. The underside is mostly bioluminescent and gives off a pale blue-green color.
Male cookie cutter sharks grow to a maximum of 16.5 inches (42 cm) total length while females reach 22 inches (56 cm).

They are called cookie cutter sharks because About 100-90 years ago, a submarine was in the water and then when they came back, there was a bite mark that literally looked like a baker took a cookie cutter and put it in the sub! But what it really was, was a cookie cutter shark. What really happened, was that since the sharks diet is whale, the cookie cutter though that the sub was a whale, and took a bite, and then realised that it wasn't a whale and left it so that's how it happened!
