While hunting for bony fish off the Chilean coast, artisanal fishermen accidentally caught something more significant in their gill nets. They had snagged a "lost" species. Back in 1887, a researcher described the Chilean angel shark, a small, flat shark resembling a ray that dwells in shallow coastal waters. However, a recent study published in the European Journal of Taxonomy (April 25th) suggests this description was incomplete and inaccurate, The Miami Herald reported.
