Scientists have filmed a rare 125-million-year-old goblin shark alive in its natural deep-sea habitat for the first time, revealing a new depth record and a wider Pacific range

For the very first time, scientists have captured live footage of goblin sharks in their deep-sea environment, revealing new insights into the species. This remarkable finding extends their known depth by almost 700 meters. Observations from two separate instances identified these elusive sharks in previously unknown Pacific Ocean habitats, complemented by archived footage from 2019 that documented an unrecognized encounter. This groundbreaking research broadens the goblin shark's recognized range significantly.
