A shark was born out of water in Britain.
The rare incident happened when the tiny creature - which was being moved to a quarantine section of Cheshire's Blue Planet Aquarium - hatched in a British diver's hands during medical checks.
The 4ins long fish - which has been named Ariel - was being transferred from a large display to stop it from falling prey to bigger water-bound creatures.
Diver Kelly Timmins said: "We're just hoping it doesn't bond with the first thing it sees, which was me.
"It is pretty unique for a shark to be born out of the water. Ariel's doing well though.
"We're also hoping it is only a matter of time before his brothers and sisters start hatching out - although we're hoping they'll do it all in the water."
