Never-before-seen orange shark caught in Costa Rica; stuns scientists
A Costa Rican fisherman, Garvin Watson, caught an extraordinary nurse shark with glowing orange skin and white eyes in Tortuguero National Park. This unique coloration is due to xanthism, a rare genetic condition. Scientists have confirmed this as the first recorded instance of an orange nurse shark, highlighting the ocean’s hidden diversity and the need for further exploration.
