The elusive and “iconic” deep-sea goblin shark, for the first time ever, has been spotted in its natural habitat — thousands of feet below the ocean’s surface with no natural light. The shark species was discovered over 100 years ago, and up until recently had only been sighted when accidentally caught by fishermen. Using a remote baited camera, scientists spied the shark in the South Pacific Ocean’s Tonga Trench, one of the deepest parts of the sea in 2024, according to a study published last month.
