The Megamouth Shark

  The megamouth shark is the most recently discovered shark. It was first found in 1976, when some fishermen hauled up their nets to find a dead creature in them!! It was 5.5m long and weighed 1215kg!!
That is a lot of shark!! The megamouth has a very cunning way of luring fish and krill into its mouth: it has luminous lips!! That may not sound amazing or helpful, but small sea creatures are attracted to light so they swim towards it and get eaten by the shark. If that doesn't amaze you I don't know what will.
As they are so rare, we know very little about these sharks. As of 2012, only 55 have been seen in a wide range as they have been found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.

This is the most famous photo of a megamouth shark.
This was the first one ever o be seen by man.
