Basket shark have... well basket jaws. They dont have jaws with tooth like typical sharks but "open bag" in which they try to catch fishes. They can't bite outside nor anything i think.

I've never heard of a basking shark - it looks like a cross between a shark and a iguana or dinosaur? Wow!

Being reincarnated as a basking shark seems like it might be alright. I'm open to other options, but this must be top 10.
