Human-Faced Shark Stuns Fisherman

A fisherman from Indonesia was surprised to see a baby shark with round eyes...like a doll's eyes staring back at him.

The almost human-featured baby shark had its eyes beneath its snout. Although out of the ordinary, it's not uncommon for mutations to appear in nature, in fact this is one of several shark mutations spotted over the last year or so.

First there was a two-headed shark discovered: Baby Two-Headed Shark Discovered 

And then it was a one-eyed albino shark, also found in Indonesia: Cyclops Shark Found in Indonesia

The question is, is it a natural mutation? Two other sharks found in the mother's womb were perfectly normal shark looking.

Or is it the result of over fishing or the effects of global warming and the acidification of our oceans? What do you think?
