The Norwegian Skate is a very large skate that live in the North Atlantic Ocean. Some live around the Arctic, while others have been observed as far south as the Bay of Biscay. Their diet ranges from crustaceans to cephalopods and even small sharks.
River Monsters[]
Legend of Loch Ness[]
The Norwegian Skate appeared in the finale of Season 5, "Legend of Loch Ness". Jeremy Wade accidentally pulled one of these rare beasts up while fishing for the elusive Greenland Shark. Seeing this creature in the daylight was a much bigger privilege to Jeremy than seeing a Greenland Shark. Yet he was still surprised that the shark eluded him.
