Sailors were creeped after the body of a shark and the face of a pig has been pulled from the water.
It was spotted by naval officers floating in the waters at the Darsena Medicea marina in the town of Portoferraio on the Italian island of Elba.
When they pulled it out of the water they discovered that what appeared at first glance to be a shark actually had a face that better resembled that of a pig.
But they quickly dispelled rumours it was some kind of mutant after it was identified as an extremely rare Angular roughshark (Oxynotus centrina).
It is also sometimes known as a pig-faced shark that normally lives up 2,300 feet below the surface.
