That's what happens to your goldfish when you flush it.

We're going to need a bigger bowl.

They pay $100 per goldfish at a lake I frequent, some jackwagon dumped a few in there years ago.

I get how destructive they can be, but it just reminds me of when they used to do bountys on coyote's or wild boars. Then people just started breeding them for the bounty and fucked things up worse

Oompa-Loompa shark!

Ah yes, the ultra rare Orange Shark, not to be confused with the more sour Lemon Shark

Fui ver se era real, é sim rs. tubarão-lixa (Ginglymostoma cirratum). Fui ver se era real, é sim rs: "falta de pigmentação escura nos olhos indicam uma condição genética rara, possivelmente ligada ao xantismo ou a uma forma de albinismo/leucismo"

u/No-Signal-1471 14h ago

If Pokemon were real, this would be like finding a shiny haha

u/IdealStatus7549 18h ago

That’s not a shark, that’s a golden dragon.

Yikes

u/Organic_Rough4433 16h ago

Is this what an albino shark looks like? Or just a discoloration?

u/Forgot_The_Safe_Word 14h ago

It’s a nurse shark.

u/Organic_Rough4433 13h ago

They are usually Grey no?

u/Forgot_The_Safe_Word 12h ago

They can also be orange! It’s more rare but it happens. Not sure why.

u/United-Palpitation28 16h ago

This guy has several genetic conditions that lead to the orange coloration. Normally albino animals lack any pigment and are white

u/DJ_Hindsight 15h ago

That’s just one of those 90s goldfish that got flushed finally turning up.

The Singing Ringing Tree wants its fish back.

u/_gmmaann_ 7h ago

Clearly he’s just been rolling around in curry

u/slicerprime 4h ago

No way that's real

u/GoatEnvironmental661 18h ago

They should protect this fish

u/OscarMichaelMyers 17h ago

Nurse sharks are globally listed as vulnerable, so this one is probably ok from humans.
