- A baby shark found dead off the coast of Indonesia has a striking mutation that gives it the appearance of a human face.
- The shark likely died because its mutation made it much more difficult to survive, dooming it to a very, very short life.
- The shark may have been afflicted with a condition called cyclopia, which can affect the way the eyes form when the animal is still developing.
A fisherman working off the coast of Indonesia recently made a most unusual discovery. According to reports, Abdullah Nuren was fishing near Rote Ndao when he found a dead juvenile shark. Finding a dead shark may be a rare occurrence on its own, but this shark was special in its own way. When Nuren flipped the shark over he found that it had two huge, circular eyes, and a gaping mouth, giving it the appearance of a cartoon character.
It's clear that the shark was the victim of some kind of mutation, and that its life was likely cut short due to its strange appearance. The tiny sea creature is almost cute, really, but its eyes are haunting, and there may be a very good explanation for why it looks the way it does.
