#Fishers discover first-of-its-kind bright orange #shark with two rare conditions in #Caribbean
The bright orange #nurseshark (Ginglymostoma cirratum) off #CostaRica had a mysterious condition called #xanthism, or #xanthochroism, which increases yellow pigmentation in the #skin. Researchers have recorded xanthism in several animals, but this is the first definitive case of a nurse shark with the trait. The shark also appears to have albinism, making it even more unusual.

Scuba Diving with a Nurse Shark in Belize

https://youtu.be/rNo-mQiU93Y

In March 2016, I attended Beneath The Sea, which is America’s largest consumer scuba diving and dive travel show. The show is held annually in New Jersey at the Meadowlands Expo Center. The Expo center in New Jersey is only 10 minutes from New York City by public transportation.

One of the travel vendor’s Diviac (which was recently purchased by PADI) raffled off a free trip to Ambergris Caye, Belize. I was very lucky to win it. Lodging was provide by Costa Blue Dive & Beach Resort. I dived with the on premise dive shop called Tuff E Nuff.

During each dive, we were able to observe the reef’s resident Nurse Shark. At first, we didn’t know if the shark was being aggressive or was just being friendly. Our dive guide told us no to worry about him. We knew it was the same shark because of the distinctive spot between its eyes. As you’ll see we were able to get very close to the shark.

Let me know if you think this was an aggressive or friendly Nurse Shark?

This amazing creature (nurse shark) spent about 30 minutes swimming in and around our group of divers. Please make sure you all reduce your use of and recycle plastic bags, swim wearing reef-safe sunscreen and stop using plastic straws so that these wonderful animals are still around for future generations to enjoy. #akumal #mexico #ocean #saveoursea #alllifeisprecious #conservation #shark #nurseshark #diving #scubadiving #scuba #akumaldiveshop #saveourseas #Sharkweek
