"A rare shark that usually lurkes more than a kilometre below the surface has been caught off Tasmania's rugged west coast.
The femal goblin shark, or mitsukurina owstoni, was hauled in near Strahan recently by fisherman, who handed it over to eager scientists for examination.
.......which weighed about 200kg and was almost 4m long..
Goblin sharks are a soft-fleshed species, with a spatula-shaped snout, which is used to sense food in cold, dark waters where light from the surface cannot penetrate......."
Could it be a relative of our own infamous Goblin.....after all, it lives in the dark too.
And, you should see the picture, man, this is one ugly shark!
