Summary:
Shrimpers caught a huge and terrifying creature out of the Gulf of Mexico known as a goblin shark. They are usually found off the coast of Japan in deep waters, but this is the second goblin shark to ever be found in the Gulf of Mexico. The uncommon creature is pink, has a long snout, sharp teeth, and measures about 18 feet long. Besides this information, not much more is known about the fish. The fisherman threw the shark back into the water but was glad to say that he caught one of the most elusive creatures of the sea.
Analysis:
After seeing a picture of the shark, I understand why the fisherman threw it back in the water! It's crazy to think that there are creatures like this that we know little or nothing about. There's no telling how many more things there are that we don't even know exist.

I completely agree. It also shows how even though we have so much technology, we have yet to discover an answer to everything.
ReplyDeleteOkay this is scary. I also believe that there will always be things that remain undiscovered in the world

ReplyDeleteI'm glad no one was hurt by the shark! He looks pretty scary.
I'm glad that they didn't hurt the shark. It seems like all sorts of deep-sea creatures are turning up in the waters around the U.S. recently. I wonder if it has anything to do with climate change.
ReplyDeleteIf I was a scientist right now I would think this would be very cool to discover a new shark!
ReplyDeleteinteresting shows how things travel
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that they threw it back. They probably realized they had the opportunity to keep it and send it to some museum or science or something, but they sent it back. I agree with how this reflects marine technology. We just don't know very much
