Researchers have named a species of 'demon shark' that lurks off the coast of Australia.
Researchers found the uncatalogued egg cases in a collection of fish samples held by the Western Australia Museum and the Australian National Fish Collection from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization .
The eggs had an odd, ridged texture, and these unidentified samples led the team to a dead, pregnant female shark specimen in storage that carried the same eggs. The specimen had been collected off the coast of northwestern Australia, from water more than 1,800 feet deep.After studying the shark and its embryos more closely, the researchers found that the specimen was misidentified as, which is Latin for “corrugated egg.” An adult female is a meager 1.5 feet long.
