Italian Naval officers recently discovered a bizarre-looking deep sea creature floating in the waters near the Darsena Medicea marina in the town of Portoferraio on the island of Elba.

The creature, a fish with the body of a shark and the face of a pig, looks like some kind of mutant dinosaur. Which it kind of is because once it was pinpointed to be a angular roughshark (Oxynotus centrina), it was realized that the odd-looking fish normally lives up 2,300 feet (700 metres) below the surface.

The angular roughshark, also known as, wait for it… a pig-faced shark, is reportedly extremely rare and is listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened species.
According to Yuri Tiberto of the local Elba Aquarium, the angular roughshark is more than just pig-faced, it also “emits a kind of grunt” when it comes out of the water.
