This link to the BBC News website under their science and tech banner describes the discovery of a new species of shark previously believed to be another type of scalloped hammerhead. Genetic testing has shown this to be a new type that at this point is found only off the South Carolina coast. I couldn't wait to share this; I think its so cool!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a lovely, well-preserved body, but rather a skid to broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "WOW! What a ride!"
This is fascinating -- I've heard that the hammerheads are the most "recent" of the shark species in terms of appearance. We could be looking at an entirely new subspecies here! It's a very exciting time to be a icythyologist with all these recent discoveries.
I think I must have been an icthyologist in a previous life. I am incredibly fascinated by sharks, though my non-diving friends think I'm a bit cracked. Divers know what I'm talking about. And in the Bahamas last month I finally got to swin with about a half dozen caribbean reefs--something I can take off of my life to-do list but I can't wait to see more!

Very cool, love hammerheads, have yet to see one as they don't tend to frequent the lovely warm water surrounding Scotland LOL, will just have to keep frequenting the Red Sea in the hope of sighting one.
