How was this awesome beauty discovered? A fisherman named Enrique Lucero Leon caught a pregnant dusky shark in the Gulf of California (between the Baja peninsula and Mexico). When he cut open his find, he encountered the odd looking male embryo along with its nine completely regular siblings. This specimen was brought to the marine biologist Felipe Galván-Magaña at the Interdisciplinary Center of Marine Sciences in La Paz, Mexico.

Such an amazing creature has now been studied further and a famed colleague of Galván-Magaña's Marcela Bejarano-Álvarez got permission from the state of Leon to examine the creature closer. Testing is still being done on him among which can be mentioned X-rays and in depth scans to find whether the foetus has a chance of a healthy life and to understand its life expectancy. Also the mutation that it has is being studied and analyzed further in order to ascertain various facts about it and the frequency of its occurrence in the species. News has reached an international level through the means of socialisation sites like Facebook and has become well known abroad. Several marine biologists of various fields of specialisation have been flown in for the purpose of studying the creature closer and get to know the possible chances of this mutation in not only sharks but also in such species as humans and other mammals and even reptiles.
