 A fisherman in the Gulf of California has made scientific history by catching an albino fetal shark with one eye.
Live Science reports that the Cyclops shark was sliced from the belly of a pregnant Dusky shark earlier this summer.
Shark researchers have examined the preserved creature and found that its single eye is made of functional optical tissue.
News of the one-eyed shark went viral earlier this summer after Pisces Fleet Sportfishing, owned by the Pisces Group Cabo, posted photos of the odd-looking animal on their blog.
Live Science reports that the malformed creature would probably not have survived outside the womb.
The fisherman who caught the Cyclops shark is planning to hang on to the preserved remains.
(I keep the possibility open that this is a hoax, if not…whoa!)

huh, more concerned with the probability that it’s illegal to fish for sharks in he gulf and that “probably” when questioned if it would have survived outside the womb.
Anyone have details on the legality of shark fishing in the gulf?

Circumstances do seem pretty fishy. I love puns.
I’d call this a hoax though. For one thing, that eye doesn’t look like it comes from an aquatic species. It looks more like one of the fake eyeballs anyone can pick up from stores during October.

could be. It reminds me of the cyclops kitten from a while back. It’s hard to tell without a closer look at the eye. It might be two of them fused together. I wish I knew more about mutations.

A quick google search brought up this picture. Could depend on the species though.

Though it is pretty interesting because sharks have eyes that have pupils that contract and expand in response to light like vertebrates. 
Another thought, but the eye doesn’t really make sense there and there’s a hand covering the area where most shark eyes are located. 
Scientific America says that it’s the real deal though.

iiiiinteresting. now i’ll be reading all their articles all afternoon.
