BABE WAKE UP NEW SHARKS JUST DROPPED!!!

A new species of Chimaera/Ghost shark was recently discovered in the deep waters of New Zealand. It's been dubbed the 'Narrow-Nosed Spookfish', and given the scientific name Harriotta avia in reference to the discoverer's grandmother. This new species was found just in time for spooky month to begin!

There's also a new species of hammerhead shark called the Shovebill Shark, or Sphyrna Alleni. Originally, it was considered a subspecies of bonnethead shark. Upon further inspection, the Shovebill Shark actually has a different head shape, number of vertebrae, and DNA profile!

Hi I'm Charlie I run this blog for a yearlong school project! I'm a high school senior and I plan to continue running this update blog even after the year is up if I still have the motivation.

This blog will contain posts on many sea creatures, feel free to request a creature! Every source will be sited in these posts and I plan to post at least once a week when I can. Sea creature of the week posts will be on Fridays!
