Incredibly rare albino baby shark with only one eye was found by fishermen in Indonesia
The creature was found in the belly of an adult shark that died after being caught in fishermen’s nets
It had one eye in the middle of its head and a milky white color, fins and other already formed parts
Andy, 29, said the shark could have been pregnant with the rare baby before he was accidentally caught in the net on October 10
He said: ‘We found three babies in his stomach, but one of them looked strange with only one eye
It had one eye in the middle of its head and a milky white color, fins and other already formed parts
Fishermen reported the incident to the local Navy office before returning the baby shark
The baby shark had a condition called cyclopia, a deformity at birth that causes the embryo to form only one eye instead of two
Its other condition, albinism, causes the shark to produce low amounts of melanin, which is responsible for the pigment in the body
