Choice News Tuesday: Rare shark spotted again in Papua New Guinea ๐Ÿฆˆ

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

After 50 years without a sighting, the rare and quirky sailback houndshark has finally been spotted again in Papua New Guinea!

Because itโ€™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 thereโ€™s always reason to hope.
