Rare Megamouth Shark Caught, Then Eaten

Fishermen based in Donsol, the Philippines, caught one of the world’s rarest sharks, the megamouth (Megachasma pelagios), in a trawling net on March 30th.

The megamouth is so rare that each one gets numbered, and only 40 other sitings have ever been recorded, making this shark number 41.

Not a lucky number for this one, as it ended up as dinner.
