Under the sea, under the sea
A rare shark nursery has been identified by a team of scientists, 200 nautical miles off the west coast of Ireland. This particular breed is known as a large school of Blackmouth catshark (Galeus melastomus) and a plethora of their mermaid’s purses or egg cases was filmed on the seafloor extending to 750 metres deep.
