Because it’s been seen so rarely, scientists still know very little about it. But its striking features are already sparking debate about whether it should be given special protection, and some have even argued it could become an icon species for Papua New Guinea.
At a time when we so often hear about species disappearing, the return of this little shark is a reminder that nature can surprise us ... and that there’s always reason to hope.

Police made the arrest late last week as part of a prevention operation at Lynnmall. The 25-year-old man was located by the Area Prevention Unit who were working during late night shopping on Thursday.
Inspector Kelly Farrant, Area Prevention Manager for Waitematā West, says the man is facing 26 shoplifting charges and two burglary charges.
“The man was a person of interest in our operation and was spotted by staff just after 7.30pm, as he was wanted in connection with around $90,000 in offending.”
The charges relate to shoplifting and burglary charges in Mt Albert, Henderson, Auckland and New Lynn between April and September 2025.
“This is the result of great teamwork, intuition and planning,” Inspector Farrant says. “Our Area Prevention team will continue running operations that protect hard working business owners from the devastating and costly consequences of retail crime.”

Research published this year has demonstrated that playing music helps keep dementia at bay - no matter how late in life the skill is picked up.
The basic idea behind this research is not new - we know that 'cognitive reserve' (learning new things) plays a big role in delaying mental slowdown. But the reminder that "it is never too late" is welcome ...
