An incredibly rare orange shark with pale, ghost-white eyes was recently caught near Tortuguero National Park in Costa Rica.. And scientists are still trying to understand it.

Researchers say its vivid color may be the result of xanthism, a condition that intensifies yellow pigments, combined with partial albinism — a genetic combo almost never seen in sharks.

The find is so unusual that it’s prompting new questions about shark genetics, pigmentation, and how many mysteries still wait beneath the surface of our oceans.
