Scientists at New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) have identified a new species of ghost shark, named the Australasian Narrow-nosed spookfish, which resides in the deep waters off Australia and New Zealand. The discovery was made during research in the Chatham Rise, an area 1,000 kilometers east of New Zealand's South Island. This elusive fish lives over 2.6 kilometers (1.6 miles) deep and hunts crustaceans using its beak-like mouth. Ghost sharks, also known as chimaeras, are related to sharks and rays but have cartilaginous skeletons. Source: Oman News Agency
