Posted by: Loren Coleman on March 3rd, 2006
David Pescovitz over at Boing Boing has the latest on a new shark find.
The new brown shark species ( Mustelus hacat) was "discovered in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. Postgraduate student Juan Carlos Perez noticed the 5-foot long, dark gray-brown animals in 2003 while on a fishing boat studying sharks, but only recently confirmed via genetic testing that they represent a new species," noted Pescovitz.

Gorgeous animal, and my fave color!
I always like the mid to smaller sized sharks due to their sleekness. This one is a beautiful one as well. As fuzzy says, simply gorgeous.
Just goes to show there is still stuff out there to be discovered! Sweet ass Shark!
