Look at the frightening shark with a human grin: no one knows what kind it is

A bizarre deep-sea shark with bulging eyes and a strange, human-like smile was recently

pulled from the depths off the coast of Australia. Biologists are not sure what species the mysterious creature belongs to.

Deep sea fishing specialist, renownedon the Internet under the pseudonym Trapman Bermagui, caught a mysterious shark from a depth of about 650 meters off the coast of New South Wales in Australia. The fisherman later shared a photo of the specimen on social networks. The image shows the dead shark's rough, sandpaper-like skin, large pointed snout, bulging eyes and exposed pearly whites.

The shark's unusual features quickly attracted attentionInternet users who were amazed and scared by the creature. One commenter wrote that the shark was "like something out of a nightmare," while another said the creature's "evil smile" gave them "goosebumps." Other users joked about the animal's appearance, suggesting that the shark had "false teeth" or that it was smiling after its braces were finally removed.

Commentators also tried to guess whichthe species belonged to a shark. Most often, people assumed it was a cutter shark or a Brazilian lantern shark (Isistius brasiliensis). People also thought it was a goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) or a species of lantern shark (Etmopteridae).
