Glowing sharks found near New Zealand

Scientists have found three glow-in-the-dark sharks off the coast of New Zealand. The kitefin shark, blackbelly lanternshark and southern lanternshark weren’t unknown to science. However, scientists had never seen them glow until recently. It’s the first time this phenomenon has been observed in larger sharks. Researchers found the glowing sharks at the Chatham Rise, a 1,000-meter deep area of ocean floor east of New Zealand, last January, according to a study published last week in Frontiers of Marine Science.
