WTF: The weird creature was pulled from Mexican seas
The bizarre animal was caught off the coast of Cabo, Mexico.
The photographs came from Jamie Rendon, Captain of the Dr Pescado ship, whose client caught the creature in 370ft deep water.
ALIEN: The catch left fishermen stunned
The captain said the most unusual features were the weirdly shaped green eyes.
He said: "I was really surprised but what caused most impact were the eyes, so strange."
WEIRD: The captain was struck by the creature's eyes
Thinking the "alien" could be endangered, he took lots of pictures and released it back into the wild.
Pisces Sportfishing Fleet, who shared the photo on their Facebook page, later confirmed that the creature is an albino swell shark.
FOUND: The creature has been identified as an albino swell shark
SPECIES: A swell shark pictured in American seas
Pisces Sportfishing Fleet, who shared the photo on their Facebook page, later confirmed that the creature is an albino swell shark.
A post read: "Alien fish mystery solved – After studying the photos, the experts agree that the strange fish is an albino swell shark – still alive and well!"
The find comes after a weird fish with wings and a nose like a wizard's hat shocked fishermen.
And in February, a fish with "arms and legs" was pulled out of a river in Thailand.
