EUROPE: It’s a male, maybe a few weeks old, about 5.5 inches long and has two pockets next to its front fins; their purpose is not known. Surprised scientists found a tiny, young version of the extraordinarily rare shark that was fished out of the deep Gulf of Mexico in 2010 with lots of other creatures in a government research trip. The dead specimen spent more than three years in a giant freezer waiting to be identified. It turned out to be only the second of its species ever seen. The first pocket shark was found 36 years ago in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru and it’s been sitting in a Russian museum since.
