CYCLOP SHARK APPEARS TO BE LEGIT

Cyclop shark appears to be legit

Near the Cerralvo island in the Gulf of California a fisherman caught a pregnant shark accidently. When they opened the mom’s stomach they saw nine little Cyclops sharks and because of this all scientists are impressed. It was twenty-two inch long with a single eye! All animals that are born with one eye die after a day but this is the exception. They have never caught and seen something like this but if they are more in the world they don’t have much time to live. 

I chose this article because it was really interesting because something like this is never found. The tittle grabbed my attention because Cyclop things are only in stories. In this site they had more interesting articles and videos and news but in my opinion this one was the best to grab anybody’s attention. We can learn through this article that Cyclop things exist but only for one day after their born. It is a really interesting part of sea life and in my opinion scientists should investigate it deeper. The photos are amazing and they seem real. It was a really strange feeling while I was reading the article because it made me feel both scared and interested. This invention may change some scientific thoughts of the way Cyclopes stories are made up in mind because they might be real with all those signs. Two questions came up in mind while I was reading the article: Was the mom also a Cyclop shark and what kind of shark it is?

  1. It is a little disgusting how they opened the mom's stomach, and it must have been creepy to see babies inside. Nice job done.

  2. That's so cool! I wonder if they are made because of pollution?

  3. I agree! I also wonder if they are mutated due to pollutants, like heavy metals, in the mom's diet. Imagine meeting one of these sharks on a diving trip?
