Up til now, there was only one pocket shark known to mankind! So, I’m so thrilled to read about that scientist have discovered another one! This one is only 5.5 inches long! So cute!
A pocket shark is not something that fits into your pocket, (even though you would think cuz of the name). No, It’s a rare shark that actually has pockets on its body, one under each fin! There has only been one seen besides this one and that creature was caught 36 years ago off the coast of Peru in the Pacific Ocean. (That species is now sitting in a Russian museum)
