by New Zealand scientists have discovered a rare baby ghost shark, a little-known species of fish that lives in the shadowy depths of the ocean.
Ghost sharks - also known as chimaera - are rarely spotted, and sightings of their young are even more uncommon.
The newly-hatched shark was collected at a depth of about 1.2km (0.7 miles) underwater near the South Island.
Scientists say the find deepens understanding of the juvenile stage of the species.
