Photos: Albino 'cyclops' shark pup is not just fish tale, says expert

Four months after viral Internet photos of a dead, one-eyed albino shark pup were panned as a hoax, a Mexican marine biologist has surfaced saying the fish is the real deal, LiveScience reported.

Dr. Felipe Galvan Magana, a shark expert at the Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine Science, is reportedly on the verge of releasing a scientific paper claiming the find - which was found inside a pregnant bull shark caught by a local commercial fisherman off Cabo San Lucas is June - is a rare case of "Cyclopia."

That's probably a good idea. I think the subject has come up several times.

I've never been sure regarding the True Crime section, is it just for current events or is this the place to discuss past atrocities? Maybe there should a legends/historical section.

Personally I think the pictures look fake, but it's not beyond belief that an animal could be born with one eye. Mutations happen.
