Cyclops Shark?? Interesting pictures

www.liveleak.com...

I've never seen anything so bizarre! So I figured I would share this with my fellow ATSers.
Radiation mutation? New species? Your guess is as good as mine!

I'm going to go out in a limb here and say hoax..

It very well could be! Just thought it was interesting, if indeed it was real.

What's the watermark on the first picture?

It's so cute! They should strap a friggin' laser to its head and make a Japanese TV show about it.

Fuku who?
Fukushima.
Hurry up and patent this species before Monsanto gets a hold of it!!

I noticed that as well. There is a watermark on the second pic too. from what I can make out it's "PISCLS" ??

If its real then the radiation is doing numbers under water---HYDRA---

From this site I borrowed (cough *stole* cough) this picture of bull shark pups:

It's hard to believe that the same sharks could possibly have such a LARGE eye (bull shark eyes are very small) so far from the normal place. I'm not sure that's even a bull shark that guy has.

I'm schkeptickal.

I'd be gobsmacked if that was real because with an eye in the middle of its face looking frontwise only , it wouldn't see approaching problems from either side etc, so wouldn't last 5 minutes. Cute little thing but they always are when they are small aren't they.

Where are the gills?????

If you look closely you can see what appears to be a bluish colored mark along the top and bottom of the eye. This points to an outline as far as I am concerned. The position of the *Fisherman's (*Assumed) hand is covering the natural eyes of the fish. Also I have been around quite a few glass eyes in my day to spot one. That is a human prosthetic not a fish eye. The bulge of it along with the absence of Ductile function ability screams

_HOAX_

The watermark is on the second pic one as well. Who knows? The guys in that picture holding the soon-to-be fish taco...That's who. F-A-K-E folks.

Ok heres a different source with different info and better pics
site

This one eyed baby is supposed to be a bullshark, but this baby fetus is an albino with one eye and a cute smile. Even in death the little guy is smiling wide at the cameras. This one eyed baby was taken from its dead mother in the Sea of Cortez in Mexico. The dead baby is now in the hands of Felipe Galvan Magana who will research the dead baby bullshark.

Edit to add
Another source link this one even says

Even though the photo of the cyclops shark is totally real and confirmed by scientists who have seen the shark pup, there’s a natural tendency to dismiss the photo as an excellent photoshopping job. But it isn’t.

Scientists say its real so it must be

Bullshark? BULL[SNIP]. The dorsal fin is all wrong. Sharks eyes don't look like that. It's face is completely flat? It seriously looks like a pokemon.

edit on 1-7-2011 by MustangDesigns because: spelling

Maybe because is a fetus, not totally developed body yet?

He got one eye too, it was all wrong before start looking the dorsal fin.

All I want is frickin sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their frickin heads!

Throw me a frickin bone here!

A human eye... in a shark... riiiiiight.
Whats next, cows eyes in a cat?

I just did a run down on this at work to kill a minute or two before the holiday weekend.

Unfortunately I found some very telling indicators that this is a "modestly talented" but never the less photo shopped couple of images. Zoom in if you can on the open mouth image, and you will see 2 very subtle but perfectly straight lines on the left and top of the "eye" area. There is also an indexed block just to the right of the mans thumb, and a central smudge of pixels through the center of the eye itself.
Also the dark lines that make up the outline of the eye are more aliased than the dark lines on the body of the shark and the mans fingers touching the shark.
This implies that the eye has been "enlarged" but the pixels were not smoothed or averaged after it was enlarged.

So it probably is the sharks own eye, cut rotated, enlarged, pasted back in the center, and then some blend and stamp rectifying of the area of the head. I would guess that the shark fetus did in fact have a malformed or stubbed snout but probably not to the extent displayed in the image.

The second image also shows some rectifying and 2 straight lines and some smudge or blur averaging done to edges of the fish which would imply it was modified as well.

I was interested in it too, but some of those issues aren't anomalies that occur in the camera themselves.
