Cyclops Shark of the Day: A one-eyed albino “cyclops” shark discovered earlier this year in Mexico is real, scientists say.
The shark suffered from a birth defect called cyclopia, leaving it with one eye in the middle of its face. It didn’t survive for long after fishermen removed it from the womb of its mother, a dusky shark.
Biologist Felipe Galván-Magaña, of the Interdisciplinary Center of Marine Sciences in La Paz, Mexico, said less than 50 examples of this type of abnormality have ever been recorded.
