Newly Discovered Demon Catshark with Ghostly White Eyes Found off Australian Coast.
TL;DR Summary
The demon catshark, a new species of deep water shark with ghostly white eyes, has been discovered off the coast of Australia. The shark was identified by tracking unique egg sacks that had been cataloged 40 years ago by the National Fish Collection. The demon catshark is an opportunistic hunter and swims in shallower depths than other catsharks, likely along ancient coastlines underwater. The discovery highlights how little is known about ocean biodiversity.
