A megamouth shark. So rare that it’s only been seen by humans 50 times since it was ‘discovered’ in 1976. Unfortunately a good chunk of those sightings were when it was being caught and sent to market for human consumption :(
ETA: One of the first specimens washed up in WA in 1988 and is now in the WA Museum :D :D
