Scientists have discovered a fascinating new marine species — the guitar shark — during a deep-sea expedition near the Coral Triangle, one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth. Found in 2025, this incredible creature gets its name from its electric guitar-like shape, with a broad, flat front and a long tail.
The guitar shark is closely related to guitarfish and rays, belonging to the Rhinochondridae family. Its discovery was part of a larger mission that revealed 866 new species, highlighting just how much of the ocean remains unexplored.
This groundbreaking find reminds us how vast and mysterious our planet’s oceans still are, and how many secrets lie waiting beneath the surface.
