  • Incredibly Rare Megamouth Shark Found On The Philippines Shore [Video&Images]

    There are some weird creatures at the bottom of the ocean. Frankly, some of them should count themselves lucky it is so dark and murky down there.

    Sometimes, however, they do venture to the surface and the world takes notice. Take this megamouth shark for example, which is only the 66th of its species ever found. The beast washed ashore in Pio Duran, the Philippines, and gawkers were quick to head to the shoreline and sneak a peek.

    Just how rare? This from Business Insider:

    The megamouth shark is so uncommon that until recently some still considered it a cryptid, a creature so rare that it couldn’t be confirmed by science.

    And while the megamouth was first confirmed to exist in 1976 after being accidentally dragged up by a US Navy vessel, it remains “one of the most rarely seen species of sharks,” [said] marine biologist David Shiffman.

    Despite their less-than-welcoming look the sharks feeds exclusively on plankton, using their bioluminescent mouths to attract the tiny organisms. You are safe, for now.
