BBC News Papua New Guinea 9d8d Impact 8
DNA tests have identified a new species distinct from nine others previously known. Scientists have discovered a new species of shark in Papua New Guinea that can walk on its pectoral fins. The shark was found in an area known for its unique marine life. Researchers observed the species during surveys in the Millen Bay islands. The shark, named after Christine Dunge from the University of the Sunshine Coast, possesses pelvic fins that allow it to move out of water. Researchers noted that the species is less than a meter long and can survive for periods out of water.
