The Marine biologists landed an unusual catch off the coast of Scotland recently – a so-called ‘sofa shark’ or false catshark.
The experts were stunned by the rare shark, which was discovered during a recent deep sea survey by scientists from Marine Scotland.
“This is not a species that has previously been found in Scottish waters,” explained the Scottish Shark Tagging Programme, in a statement.
The creatures can grow up to 10 feet long, but this one was around 6 feet, according to media reports.
