A rare creature has just appeared off the coast of Indonesia

A new image of an organism is recorded

It is only recorded the image of an organism that is considered "rare and difficult to encounter" in the ocean. Megamouth shark - megamouth shark.

Recently, a visitor accidentally recorded the image of an extremely rare creature. It was a megamouth shark - judged to be the "rarest and most elusive of the ocean".

Specifically, the film recorded by Penny Bielich when she was diving off Komodo Island (Indonesia). The image in the video is really clear, so many experts must be surprised.

According to biologists, this shark is very rare. They were first found in 1976 on the island of Hawaii, but so far only about 63 appearances in front of humans.

So, wide mouth sharks are known as one of the most mysterious animals to humans.

This is one of the most mysterious animals with humans.

Science currently holds very little information about this animal. They are large fish, can be up to 5m long, and live in deep waters - about 160m below sea level. This is also one of the longest-lived fish species, with an estimated life of about 100 years.

They have a great habit of opening their mouths when feeding, sucking a large amount of seawater and filtering prey through whale-like teeth.

The main food of wide-mouth sharks is shrimp, plankton, and sometimes jellyfish. In addition, this behavior is also the reason why they are named "wide mouth".
