underrated comment here

[u/TropicalLoneWolf → u/Yhamerith]

I can't believe I had to scroll for the obligatory comment mentioning a shiny.

[u/Im_Lead_Farmer]

This image is photoshoped, the origenal image is light orange color not neon vibrant color like this one

[u/Syssareth → u/Im_Lead_Farmer]

The one in this post is Photoshopped, but the real thing is still pretty bright.

[u/Im_Lead_Farmer → u/Syssareth]

The one I saw is the first image of this article and it's the image in the circle of this post, but yes the other images do look more brighter orange

[u/Makkaroni_100 → u/Im_Lead_Farmer]

We need more people like you.

[u/BoringJuiceBox]

Why does the post title sound like a scammer

[u/ReadditMan → u/BoringJuiceBox]

The title makes it sound like this is a new species that was recently discovered. It's really just a nurse shark with xanthism, a genetic condition that increases the production of yellow and orange pigmentation.

Xanthism has been observed in fish before but this is the first documented case of a shark with the condition. Most likely it's not the first shark to ever have xanthism, it's just that the odds of surviving to adulthood are extremely low because sharks rely on camouflage to hunt.

[u/JeffreyNasty24 → u/ReadditMan]

This, and too much Iron-Bru

[u/BarrySwami → u/BoringJuiceBox]

Coz no links to the actual news, just a Pic with text on it. That is the seal of legitimacy on reddit apparently

[u/Creepy-Ant373 → u/BoringJuiceBox]

Cause it's a bot posting the same thing a bit did last week

[u/BA_Bones_33 → u/BoringJuiceBox]

Cuz it’s written like a Yoda AI model shit itself. The comma, the disjointed subject-action, 1st vs. first… the whole thing reeks

[u/12_leon_12 → u/BoringJuiceBox]

It reads like a tabloid

[u/flagsarecoolorsmth]

[u/reticulatedtampon]

Why is this making the rounds as though it just happened? The shark was discovered in August 2024

[u/VillainousandBoxum]

[u/Wow-Think5760]

[u/AlwaysSqualid]

Pretty wild looking shark. I wonder if the orange color is a genetic thing or some kind of environmental effect. Either way, definitely not something you see every day

[u/idkwtftokeepherelmao → u/AlwaysSqualid]

I really hope its not an oil spill.

[u/AlwaysSqualid → u/idkwtftokeepherelmao]

Yeah, hopefully not. It would be interesting to know if anyone has actually confirmed what’s causing the orange color

[u/Clembert-Hamlamp → u/AlwaysSqualid]

All that water is making him rusty

[u/Syssareth → u/AlwaysSqualid]

Xanthism. It's like how melanism makes animals black or very dark, just with yellow pigments instead.

[u/AlwaysSqualid → u/Syssareth]

Yeah, that actually makes a lot more sense. I didn’t even know there was a name for that

[u/Luchador_En_Fuego]

🎶 Orange Shark do do do doo 🎶

[u/BA_Bones_33 → u/Luchador_En_Fuego]

The remix is gonna be lit

[u/No_Stable_110]

It’s a shiny.

[u/ResponsibilityFar827]

"Researchers said the shark most likely had two genetic disorders—albinism and xanthism. Albinism accounts for the white eyes. Xanthism accounts for the skin color—it boosts the level of yellow pigments."
