Sharkarama

A rare megamouth shark washed ashore Wednesday in the Philippines, creating lots of confusion because local residents, at first, had no idea what type of bizarre-looking creature they were dealing with.

The 15-foot specimen was found in the Burias Pass, between the Albay and Masbate provinces of central Philippines. It will be studied by scientists hoping to learn more about the mysterious deep-sea species (Megachasma pelagios).
