Rare Megamouth Shark Caught
Only 40 Megamouth Sharks had ever been found.
Ever.
The Megamouth Shark is a deep water shark and obviously rarely sighted. On March 30th, number 41 was caught by fisherman in the Philippines. What did they do? Read this from National Geographic:
"April 7, 2009—In just a short time, one of the rarest sharks in the world went from swimming in Philippine waters to simmering in coconut milk.

Aca immediately identified it as a megamouth shark and encouraged the fishers not to eat it."
