One fish, two fish, red fish — orange shark? Scientists came across a bright orange shark in the wild whose creamsicle-colored skin was pigmented by two genetic conditions that are exceedingly rare among the predators of the deep. The first-of-its-kind shark was found during a fishing trip in Costa Rica’s Tortuguero National Park in August 2024, according to a recently published science journal report. The dutiful researchers photographed the beauty before swiftly releasing it.
