Denumirea oficială este Rechinul lanternă – Ninja. Şi este prima specie de rechin care, deşi este de culoare neagră, trăieşte în adâncimi şi poate străluci, la propriu.
Rechinul lanternă – Ninja a fost descoperit de o echipă de cerectători de la Centrul de Cercetare al Rechinilor din Pacific, în Moss Landing, California. Numele său oficial, în latină, este Etmopterus benchleyi şi a fost conferit de cercetătorul Peter Benchley.
Dar numele său comun a fost inventat de verişorii cercetătorului Vicky Vásquez. Patru dintre ei, în vârstă de 8 până la 14 au, au sugerat că „rechinul e un super ninja”.
Rechinul lanternă – Ninja este de aproximativ o jumătate de metru şi trăieşte la o adâncime de aproximativ 1.000 de metri de coasta Pacificului din America Centrală. Descoperirea a fost raportată într-o ediţie recentă a Revistei Ştiinţifice Ocean Foundation.
