In a latest discovery, a new shark species with jet black skin and a faint glow has been found. It is a master of stealth. The shark has been given appropriate name ‘Ninja Lanternshark’, and lives in deep waters, from 2,742 feet to 4,734 feet, or 836 to 1443 meters, in the Pacific Ocean, off Central America coast.

The animal’s unique name has been given by Vicky Vásquez’s young cousins. Vásquez is among the team of scientists that have detailed the latest shark discovery in a study carried by the Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation.

Vásquez told Mashable via email, “The common name we have suggested, Ninja Lanternshark, refers to the shark's color which is a uniform sleek black as well as the fact that it has fewer photophores [organs that emit light] than other species of lanternsharks”.

Vásquez added that one the basis of that they felt that those matchless characteristics would make this species stealthy alike ninja.

Though it’s difficult to hide in the ocean if you glow, scientists think that it works in the case of lanternsharks just like the Ninja.

Vásquez said that the glow of lanternsharks is enough to hide their shadows, probably as a form of camouflage.

The research over Ninja Lanternsharks is still going on, as scientists have been trying to learn more about them. Until now, researchers have discovered 8 specimens of the new shark. The first discovery was done in 2010.
