    New ghost shark species may have been found in Costa Rica

    Costa Rican scientists may have discovered a new ghost shark species in Pacific waters near Cabo Blanco and Cano Island. The species exhibits a shorter snout, darker coloration, and a longer dorsal fin spine, according to Arturo Angulo Sibaja of the University of Costa Rica. Genetic analysis suggests it is distinct and the only known species of its kind along the Central American coast.
