Discovery of the "lantern shark ninja" that glows in the dark

Finally we know very few marine species that inhabit the ocean floor since explore such depths requires equipment and highly advanced techniques. This new species of sharks, whose specimens measure only 50 centimeters, was discovered more than 1,000 meters deep off the Pacific coast of Central America.

This species is very original, his skin very deep black color has the particularity to glow in the dark. This phosphorescent shark can better blend in with his environment, which receives very little light. This allows them to escape predators and attack their prey by surprise. This would be the cousin of one of the researchers who have inspired him the "ninja lanternshark"
