Rare Megamouth Shark Caught on Video Near Indonesia Island

A rarely seen megamouth shark was spotted by a diver near the Indonesian island of Komodo on July 25.

Penny Bielich was diving near Gili Lawa Laut, a tiny island near the northeastern shore of Komodo, when she glimpsed the elusive creature. She managed to capture about half a minute of video, before the shark disappeared into the ocean blues.
