Update on the Freak Shark
Shark expert Felipe Galvan sent us an e-mail saying he has seen this shark and tried to buy it from the fisherman, who was unwilling to part with it, however he did agree for the scientists to do some studies on the shark. At first they thought the "eye" might have been fused nasal cavities, but now they are going to do some testing to see if the "eye" is actually that, or if it is part of the tissue. They already have a scientific manuscript that is under revision for publication. We will keep you updated as more information becomes available.

"At first they thought the "eye" might have been fused nasal cavities".
Is this some kind of a joke? Since when did fish with gills ever develop nasal cavities? Never in evolution have fish had noses. What a farce. Those pictures have been on the internet for months.
You need to research shark biology and anatomy a little Fireballs.
"Sharks possess a pair of nares (nasal cavities), nostril-like holes that are located just under the leading edge of the snout. Each nare is divided by a nasal flap into two openings."
