Fishermen in Indonesia are shocked to discover a mutant shark with a human-like face.

A shark with a human-like face was allegedly caught by an Indonesian fisherman. You will be in awe of the images.

One of the unusual and amazing things you could come across in the sea doesn’t immediately come to mind as a mutant shark with a “human face.”

However, a fisherman off the coast of Indonesia was perplexed when he came across exactly that.

Abdullah Nuren, 48, grabbed the mutant baby shark in the waters near Rote Ndao in East Nusa Tenggara region.

The fisherman had first caught an adult shark in his trawler net, and when he cut open its guts, he discovered three pups within.

One of them was distinctly ‘human’ appearance, with two enormous round eyes beneath its snout.



‘I initially found a mother shark caught in the trawler net,’ explained Nuren. ‘The next day I split the belly of the mother shark and found three pups in the stomach.

‘Two were like the mother and this one looked like it had a human face.’ 

But a fisherman off the coast of Indonesia was left baffled when he came across just that

Nuren returned the young shark to his family, who assisted him in preserving it. He claimed that neighbors offered to buy the shark from him, but he declined.

‘My home has been crowded with people who want to see the shark,’ he said. 

‘Many people want to buy it, but I will preserve it instead. I think it will bring me good luck.’
