Pacific Sleeper Shark - NEW Encounter 2024 | Rare Deep Sea Shark Sighting

Pacific sleeper sharks are rarely-seen deep sea dwellers that are thought to have natural lifespans stretching hundreds of years. Today, we have the privilege of seeing one up close, including from some very unique angles, thanks to the extraordinary work of Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre and Inkfish, whom kindly allowed the use of this footage.

Check out their original upload, which includes some great, insightful commentary on the sleeper shark:
