Sharks usually hunt by stalking their prey and following its scent. A new one has been added among the sharks that have an extremely scary appearance. However, there is no clear information about which species this shark belongs to.
A fisherman caught a shark that is as interesting as it is terrifying in appearance at a depth of about 650 meters in the Australian sea. A photo of a deep-sea shark with bulging eyes and a mouth that appears to be smiling soon went viral on social media. The species of this scary shark, which experts and users have made many comments, is not exactly known.
There are many guesses about the shark’s species, but no definite conclusions.
A man named Trapman Bermagui, who was fishing in Australia, shared a photo of the shark he caught on his Facebook account. The creature, which is estimated to weigh around 50 kg and be 3 meters long, received hundreds of comments in a short time. Some of the users found the shark extremely scary, while others compared it to a person who smiles when they remove their dentures.
Although both users and experts have comments on which species the shark belongs to, the exact species is unknown. The most common guesses about the species of this fearsome creature were Isistius brasiliensis, called the bun-trap shark (bottom left in the photo), and Centroscymnus owstonii, known as the rough-skinned shark (top in the photo).
Experts from all over the world think that this fish may also be a gulper shark. Stating that they cannot say anything clear without a full examination, experts estimate that it may be possible for this scary-looking shark to belong to a species that has never been seen before.
So, which species did you compare this unknown shark to? Do not forget to indicate your ideas in the comments.
