what could it be?!?

Despite the initial market and rumors that it was a mutation, marine experts were quick to reassure and made it clear that it was a familiar, but very rare, shark - Trizene.

The Tit is a relatively small shark that does not exceed 50 centimeters in length and lives in the Atlantic Ocean between Norway and South Africa as well as in the Mediterranean Sea and the shores of Israel.



The trout is now endangered and is slowly swimming along the seabed looking for worms, mollusks and crabs for food, although it will also eat slow-moving fish or carrion.

It can move from a depth of 50 meters to a depth of 600 meters below sea level.

Although the discovery took place last month, it went viral this month when photos of the strange-looking marine creature were posted on social media. The post immediately drew hundreds of responses, including criticism from civilians who thought the shark was captured and killed on purpose. After being taken out of the water, the shark was taken to the local port offices to be examined and finally disposed of the body.



Yuri Tiberetto, one of the directors of the Alba Aquarium, told local media that although it is rare, it is not the first time such a shark has been spotted in the area.

He added: "It is usually called 'pig' not only because of its appearance, but also because when it comes out of the water it emits a kind of retina. In the sea of ​​the Tuscan archipelago, which is so rich and biologically diverse, it is not uncommon to find this fish. "I can say that I often get reports from fishermen of 'pigs' caught in their fishing nets," he said, adding: "I also tried to host it in one of the tanks in the aquarium, but I soon gave up - because I saw it was a species of shark that does not adapt to life in captivity."
