Researchers are amazed to find a strange ghost shark. Researchers have found the baby of an old ghost shark off the coast of New Zealand. It was discovered by researchers at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.
The day-old baby was swimming along the shore. They are native to the ocean floor. Here each child stays in the shell-like shells until infancy. They are found at an average depth of 1200 m above sea level. Ghost colonies are most commonly found in New Zealand’s Chatham Rice. Therefore, researchers are amazed at how the baby ghost shark came to the shore within a few days of hatching.

???????????????????? “Obscure, dead-eyed, wing-finned fish that float regarding the murky depths of the ocean floor”?!? @niwa_nz‘s @BritFinucci has a much better way of describing the BABY ghost shark (chimaera) just found off NZ: “very rare & exciting” + “astonishing”: https://t.co/DcQpcH5snG pic.twitter.com/mZrtXWqNvr— Shark Advocates (@SharkAdvocates) February 15, 2022
