The new brown shark species ( Mustelus hacat) was "discovered in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. Postgraduate student Juan Carlos Perez noticed the 5-foot long, dark gray-brown animals in 2003 while on a fishing boat studying sharks, but only recently confirmed via genetic testing that they represent a new species," noted Pescovitz.

    I always like the mid to smaller sized sharks due to their sleekness. This one is a beautiful one as well. As fuzzy says, simply gorgeous.
