Fishermen caught a strange shark; scientists were shocked to see orange skin and white eyes!
Fishermen caught a strange shark: Often something is seen in the sea which is difficult to even imagine. Recently, a fisherman from Costa Rica got to see something similar. After seeing which everyone was surprised. Actually this group of fishermen caught a very rare shark in their net. It was not an ordinary shark, but a bright orange colored shark. Whose eyes were as white as milk and it looked like a mysterious creature because no one had seen such a shark before.
Scientists were shocked to see orange skin and white eyes
According to experts, the unusual color and eyes of this shark are the result of some rare genetic condition. In fact, symptoms of two different conditions, Xanthism and Albinism, were found in this shark. Xanthism is a condition in which more yellow pigment starts forming in the body. Due to this, the color of the animals appears dark yellow or orange. This condition is seen in some fish and reptiles also. But it is considered almost impossible to find it in sharks. This is the reason why this discovery is no less than a miracle for the scientific community.

Why is it no less than a miracle?
The white eyes of this shark indicate that it also has albinism. This is a rare genetic condition in which a pigment called melanin is not produced in the body. Melanin gives black, brown, red or dark color to the skin, hair, scales and eyes. When this pigment is not formed, the body and eyes appear white or light. Albinism is rarely seen in marine creatures, so this discovery becomes even more important.

Fishermen of Costa Rica have caught a strange shark
Scientists say that it is very rare for xanthism and albinism to appear together in a single species. This is probably the first case when the properties of both conditions have been found in the same shark. Earlier, in 2023, a white dolphin (albino dolphin) was seen by a newlywed couple, which attracted worldwide attention. Let us tell you that it is not easy for creatures with such unusual color and form to survive in the sea. Their bright color makes them stand out immediately. Predators can easily target them, and they also have difficulty in catching prey because the prey sees them from a distance.
Summary
This is the reason why the survival of such a shark is no less than a miracle. This orange shark is not only a lifetime experience for a fisherman, but also a major discovery for science. Such creatures help in understanding marine biodiversity more deeply and tell how nature creates life in unique forms.
