Voiceover: I know what you’re thinking, “there’s sharks in the water, am I in danger?” Camera cuts to the smallest, most goober shark ever

So, it's not a new species, it's a first sighting of a common species.

People misread the title. It's not that they discovered a new species, it's that they discovered a species that's not usually in this area. Sevengills are usually deeeeeep sea sharks, and their teeth are highly prized by fossil collectors. The puget sound is VERY deep, creating a perfect habitat.

Didn't know they can grow up to sssssssssss ten feet. Impressive 😂

They aren't new... They've known about them for some time being in the sound. I remember when they had a special little information area at the Seattle Aquarium for them 🤷🏼‍♀️

So it isn't a new species, just new to Puget Sound. Is that right?

What? 7 gills have been there forever.

There's been 7 gills in the sound forever. more so up in the San Juans and out the straits. Newly discovered? Not.

Sharks are seriously so cool. I wish people appreciated them more.

Them sharks been in that water since forever

Well timed. Right in the middle of Shark Week.

Just in time for Shark week

Not sure but we used to talk about 7 gill sharks for many years. The dogfish population was down and there are Salmon Sharks that look like Mako sharks that eat salmon. Glad they are tracking those very old 7 gill sharks. Where can you see the footage from the cameras.

Alert! News station just discovered a new breed of cow in Washington pastures called a Holstein.

See what happens when you look around

I def caught a seven gill off of the Tacoma pier in 2003. Even called the fish and wildlife authorities like the sign said to. Why did it take them 21 years to determine they live there?

What is wrong with people. It not new. Damnit 😂

I very much remember going to Tacoma from southern Idaho so my dad could go with my uncle to go dogfish fishing in the early 70s. Sounds like we need more of these 7-Gills and for them to go up the Columbia to get rid of seals there!

Hey Dave, nice to see you working with your favorite species again. Have fun! :)

New shark species discovered? Alllllllrighty then And you all went to college? Fascinating.

Not new, but rare in the area.

We've been catching six and seven gill from Willapa Bay to Commencement Bay for years. These come into the sound to have babies. Also the best bait for six and seven gill is dog shark.

This isn't new at all. I've been fishing multiple times there with my aunt who lives on Bainbridge island. We've known about these for over 30 years and I don't even live in Washington.

My big brother used to catch shark in his rubber raft out there! He came home once with a big hook hooked into the back of his head! Mom iced it well, while putting pliers, needle & thread in rubbing alcohol! Then poured some on too! He did have to bite a bullet, but never uttered a peep! 💪He was later an underwater welder in the Navy!💪🇺🇸❤️

It's not even a slow news cycle in the last 24 hours, or anything

Now that's fascinating for 🦈 Week. But a Sevengill 🦈?! WOW!

I saw them out there the other day :) didnt even know they were researchers doing stuff, there were so many floaters out that day!

not gonna lie, small and baby sharks are really cute

In WA we don't have aggressive sharks the water stays to cold year round they tend to be slower and more lax as well as the fact that most of them are bottom feeders (eat dead things ) more often than eating live animals wolf eels in the PNW can have attitudes bigger than any shark in this area.

That’s not a new species, it’s new to the area.

Those have been in puget sound forever. My friend is a professional diver. He told me about seeing this species in Commencement Bay 20 + years ago. This must be a slow news day. Nobody got shot today. But that's a good thing. 😂

Oh. It's just facts. Like how the 7 gills range is from the western Pacific to the eastern Pacific...

God, this was hokie.

Literature when i was a kid claimed 250 known species of shark...today we are more than twice that number! awesome.

every year I watch shark 🦈 weak on discovery channel and every now and then they come across a new species or so. Some sharks have been around for years and they're just discovering them now. So this was awesome to watch.

It’s crazy because they were discovered right in front of my house I was watching them

Shark: I've always been here

I'm excited for shark week. I look forward to it every year.

Fun fact: Sharks are older than trees

He was going to say it can grow up to 6 ft then he said 10 😂😂😂 trying to tell fibs to the people

How is this news worthy? It's not a new species. Some egghead catches a 7 gill and is like "I guess there's 7 gills down there!"

The ocean is so large and we know so very little about it and what lurks in its depths

babe, wake up a new shark just dropped

Saw dogfish sharks fished out of Port Orchard city limits off a kayak! Cool stuff

I caught an 8ft Salmon Shark off of Les Davis fishing pier last night 07/28/2024 while 6 Gill fishing

This would be a fun day at work

Just saw this shark in the Monterey Bay Aquarium 🤔

Headline is misleading!

"DayV" LOL

Mother Nature is active and well

So absolutely wonderful! Sharks are so important to our waters and health of our seas! Not scary just PLAIN COOL!!!

News station needs to do more research before hand

First, the 7 gills get much much bigger than 10 feet. Second, the most populous area for them is actually just off seattle. Third, 7 gills are primarily scavengers that feed at night. Shark week did a special on them about 10 years ago and had a video of a large shark in the neighborhood of 14 feet.

"previously unidentified" would be more accurate than "new" species, it's always been there.

Love seeing new scientific discoveries in our region. So glad i decided to go to OSU for Wildlife Biology. Making us proud, Beavers!

Is this video from 2003 and uploaded in 2024? Or was it actually taken in 2024 and then uploaded? Because according to google they have been sighted in Puget Sound since 2003.

To be clear .. a fisherman alerted them of the 7 gill. The government employees only confirmed.

Animal abuse means if you hook it you don't cook it, it retains ptsd.

Is it off the coast if it’s in the sound? I would think offshore would be more clear.

The title of this video is a little misleading. The shark in question is not a new shark species - they are just new to the sound. Sevengills are one of the oldest cold water shark species & before being discovered in The Sound, they were known to be deep sea fish off the Pacific Northwest coast (among other locales) and usually only seen thru the window of a submersible. This species first appeared in the sound a few years ago but oceanographers thought it was a fluke. Now it appears it may be a possible permanent behavioral change. Also they forgot to add Great Whites to the shark list (they prefer cooler waters too).

A new species wasn't discovered. This was a new record of a species.

We discovered a new shark species before GTA 6

1:06 It looks like some kind of prehistoric sea creature ?

7 Gills do not target seals nor sea lions, and they are not a "new species".

A bit behind the times, dudes. We've had seven-gill sharks in New Zealand for at least 60 years.

The sixgill shark has been awful quiet since this dropped

If we are still discovering new species of seven feet long predators that lurk mere meters away from residential areas, imagine what species we haven’t found that exist 5000 feet away from human civilization.

1:07 Ok, for a moment I thought that was either a Xenacanthus or an Orthacanthus, lol. Both are shark-like fish that died out hundreds of millions of years ago.

What?? Who actually "surfs" on Puget Sound?! There are no waves in the bay, those are on the coast. 🙄

Probably isn’t new to Puget Sound, just new to researchers from the area

Yeah good job noaa on the awesome boat awareness coming a few yards off of boats coming way to close to divers in the water hats off

Great white coming soon 🦈

I looked up the sharks on the internet and they either look like they're constantly pogging or they look like Muppets, I don't know why anyone would ever be afraid of these goobers.

Wow n we thought it was All discovered!!

Looking like a politician 😮😮😮

I caught a Dogfish one time off the docks by the zoo, drawing a blank but the 5 mile hike is there. Um... Yeah, fish off the tall docks, only one I ever saw, and I never thought to count the gills. May have been a ratfish...

If your next to salt water. There is Sharks. Unless your Australia. Then all water has sharks.

To Fox 13 Seattle, the seven gill shark is not a "new species" like you claim maybe the fact you've never seen it in Puget Sound but that shark has been around seeing how we have it here off the coast of British Columbia, Canada

There has been a new speices of shark found by Austrilia but that was like 15 years ago.

Didn't know there were that many species in the sound.

I hear about bicatch seven gills coming up in nets around Westport Washington every once in a while

The sharks give a great sign that the waters are healthy. Maybe they know to they are not hunted for ahatk fin soup.

Shit.... I didn't even know we had sharks here. I gonna have fun swimming today.....

I scuba here. Fun!

Wonderful a new shark

The fact people are surprised there are sharks in the ocean completely befuddles me. All I can say is "DUH". I guess people do not associate Puget Sound as ocean. Well people, you can find sharks in the damndest places. A bull shark was caught on rod and reel just north of St. Louis, MO. in the Mississippi river quite a few years back.

Google says the Sevengill Shark was described in 1807. Could this be a new species of Sevengill (as in Sevengill being used more as a genus than a species) or subspecies? Or did they just get this part completely wrong?

There’s no shark attacks because I decided

As long as they don’t eat my crabs, squid, oysters and clams, I don’t care if they are there. The Sound is too cold to swim in unless you have a dry suit

Man, Then I 6 Gilled Sharks were something strange.

10ft shark just discovered. Makes you think whats Really out there... 😮

We got a new shark before gta 6

This is NOT new. 7gill is normal around here. That’s what makes the 6 gills shark 🦈 special. NORMAL!

Fintastic! 🦈

My spirit animal is definitely a shark because I love to swim and eat meat!

Shows how reliable they are at catching a seven gill I didn't see one on the video

A new species of Chronics discovered in Seattle. 😁

7 gill sharks are not new.

There is no reason why a great white could not be seen in waters around the Pacific Northwest....The temperature is about the same as around New York, Atlantic Ocean Coast..... Thresher sharks have always been known for human consumption.....They are very tasty, plentiful and have a fast growth rate.......
