Cyclops Bull Shark captured in the Sea of Cortez

We cover a lot of hybrid fishes here on Reef Builders but the one eyed bull shark recently discovered in the Sea of Cortez really takes the cake. The cyclops shark was an unborn pup that was removed from a large female bull shark, Carcharhinus leucas, captured off of Mexico in the Sea of Cortez. Even though the photo of the cyclops shark is totally real and confirmed by scientists who have seen the shark pup, there’s a natural tendency to dismiss the photo as an excellent photoshopping job. But it isn’t.
Unfortunately the cyclops shark fetus was already dead by the time it was removed from its large female bull shark mother.

If this isn’t photo-shopped, it is the strangest looking animal I think I have ever seen.

Pathetically phony...not even photoshopped. Stuck an eye from Build A Bear on it or pulled one off some doll. Notice the hand covering where the eyes are?

LOL! I was going to say the same thing. It's not even a shark's eye.

You may be right or wrong - but still that Build a Bear line was the funniest comment of the day.

There is another phot from the side. No hand are in the way and there is no eye on the exposed left side of the critter. Having stated that, I’d be more inclined to believe this story if it had one eye where eyes are supposed to be. Why an eye would form where none had formed before is a stretch for me.
