This week's Real or Not? is a little different than most. Rather than hunt for an appropriate photo on my own, a Divester reader recently sent me several unusual photos that he had taken. Claiming he had hauled this fish up in his net, he "Didn't notice it till we got back & was emptying the net, it was dead by then. I've been fishing a long time and occasionally we snag a baby shark, but I've never seen anything like it. Any Ideas???"

Check out the rest of the pictures of the "Unicorn shark," and tell us what you think. Is it Real or Not?





What do you think? Are these photos real or not real?

1. I catch sand sharks or "dog fish" all the time.
They have spikes near the rear of their tail.
This is, perhaps, a mutant shark. The spike is in the wrong place!
