Off the coast of Costa Rica, a country in Central America, local fishermen caught a rare and unique bright orange shark.

"We had the opportunity to record this nurse shark of such a special orange color, it was the first time we saw one," the company Parismina Domus Dei posted on Facebook.
Images taken by the fishermen were later handed over to researchers specializing in marine biology. The latter confirmed that the specimen exhibited a rare genetic condition known as xanthism, combined with signs of albinism, called albino-xanthochromism.
