•A new species of walking shark was discovered
•A shark that walks – it might sound like the plot line of a low-budget horror film, but scientists have discovered just that off the coast of Papua New Guinea.
•Walking sharks were already known to science with nine such species recorded. That was until this month when a tenth was logged: the Dudgeon walking shark (pictured), named after Australian scientist Dr Christine Dudgeon, who discovered it on a recent night dive.
