World’s first orange shark: Scientists reveal the jaw-dropping reason behind its unique colour

A bright orange shark, a first-of-its-kind discovery off Costa Rica's coast, has amazed marine biologists. Researchers believe the shark exhibits xanthism, a condition causing increased yellow or orange pigments, and possibly albinism due to its white eyes. This rare find highlights nature's incredible diversity and the need for ocean conservation.
