😆 The Derpy Shark 😄
Well, it's not really called derpy fish, but it sure looks like one 😄
Just check it out:
And here it is from another angle
It just looks so sad. It's dead so it makes sense... But you know what I mean 😆😢
So, this is a fish I had never heard about and I discovered today thanks to Twitter.
Scientifically described as Oxynotus bruniensis, this is a poorly understood dogfish shark found in the waters of Australia and New Zealand, in reported depths ranging from 45 to 1,067 m. It's commonly known as the prickly dogfish.
This name comes from their rough, sandpaper-like skin. Another notable thing about them is their weird body shape, with a prominent humped back and two large, sail-like dorsal fins. Due to their body shape, they are believed to be bad swimmers that mostly hover over the sea floor, possibly to conserve energy.
They are harmless to humans, with an adult length of about 75 cm (30 inches. Not much is known about their diet but they are carnivorous and believed to feed on bottom-dwelling invertebrates and fish.
As we species is classified as near threatened and it appears their numbers are continuously declining.
Usually I like to include a video or two in my strange animals posts but it seems there aren't any.
Anyways, this is a quick gist on this funny looking species. Here's a link to Wikipedia if you would like to read more on them, there's not much though as there is little research on them.
Oh almost forgot the most important thing. Yes it is edible! And according to some accounts on social media it is super tasty, lol.
In other news, I hear hive turned 4 today! I still remember the summer of 2017 when I was first trying out Steemit. Damn, time has really passed since then. Hopefully 2024 is the year hive gets a big win. 🤞
So...Happy birthday fellow hivians ? Sounds so corny 😆

I love derpy fish’s face. Except for the dead part. 🙃
Big congrats to all Hivians across the world, stumbling on a platform like this personally has been immense and life changing. It's also my first time of coming across the dogfish , I guess we learn everyday .
Deep sea is where you can find the ugliest animals in the world

Its appearance is not so good but nice to know about it. I believes, sea has many Wonderful creatures like this one. Many creatures we don't know about them, living inside the depth of sea and are very strange.
I had never seen a derpy shark and I didn't know it was tasty

I myself have never seen such a fish before and after seeing it, my knowledge has increased that fish can look like this.
It doesn't look like a shark but the face is definitely derpy looking. It's a harmless species so it sucks to hear that they are starting to go extinct.
A Depressed shark...
That's tough😂😂
It looks like a newly divorced who lost everything to the wife and still lost his million dollar sports bet by just one goal.
Yupp it's a great interesting work. Good job. It's looking innocent
