Divester.com has been posting more Scary Shark: Real or Not challenges. Their latest picture shows a
"horny shark." Is it real or not? The answer will be revealed next week. I'm not sure about this one. The shark kind of looks like it's made out of paper mache, so I'm going to vote that it's fake.
They also had a good challenge
last week which I forgot to post about. To me the picture looked like a rag-doll shark, so I voted that it was fake. But I was wrong. Turns out that it's a photo of a
real creature known as a cookie cutter shark. It lives in the depths of the ocean and only ventures to the surface at night to feed.

Though I don't exactly know why I was interested in seeing a horny shark in the first place...
These really bizarre sharks live in very deep ocean waters and therefore are not seen or caught very often.
Of course, I know that way of thinking is called the Gambler's Fallacy, or something like that (thinking that past results influence the outcome of present ones).
Also, the little round scars you see on Sea Lions, sharks, dolphins, or whatever are from the cookie cutter sharks. They always leave a round mark/scar, hence their name.
It's called a goblin shark. If you google image search it, you can see many other pics.
For Goblin Sharks???
I'd pay a dollar to see that! :lol:
It's real, as everyone has already pointed out. The Goblin Shark is my favorite shark. I was absolutely thrilled to see it's picture here, lol.
