For the very first time in this generation, a mesmerizing shark that has dodged researchers for years has finally been caught on camera. The male of the class has a sheathable sex organ on its head. The enigmatic and pre-historic Ghost Shark is one of the most intangible creatures in the ocean and has captivated scientists who have been despairing to capture a sight for so many years.
According to Express UK, on this present day, the scientists who spotted the spooky phantom fish, which is also identified as Chimaera, off the beach of Hawaii and California say it was "dumb fluke" that they were able to capture the certain fish on camera. Despite the fact, it is called a Ghost Shark, the fish is in point of fact a class of the elasmobranchs, which is associated to sharks but not truly off the record as one.
Also, conferring to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), the certain creature was formerly recognized to make its territory in the southern Hemisphere but looks as if to have exchanged the south for the north. Scientists claim the sharks live deep in the ocean and do everything they can to evade rays of sunlight, for the reason that it made them their threatening signature. Geologists traced the species using a remotely-operated vehicle in the northern Pacific.
This amazing creature was identified to be older than dinosaurs, and they are believed to have progressed for 300 million years passed. Also, they are not recognized to have piercing teeth and speciously don't have a taste for humans, choosing as an alternative to concentrate on worms and other protein they find in the sand at the bottommost of the ocean.
In addition, according to National Geographic, a marine biologist named Dominique Didier, who was also a chimaera expert at Millersville University in Pennsylvania said: "The only way we can collect these species is by trawling," she says. "So, it's like a snapshot. Imagine trying to understand species distribution in Lake Michigan and you sample the lake using a Dixie cup. Trawling the ocean is like that."
