This footage was captured by a remotely operated vehicle as far as 6,700 feet below the ocean surface. Only recently were experts able to confirm that these fish were the same species as the ones that were previously discovered in the Southern Hemisphere. DNA sampling still needs to be conducted to be certain.

With that said, these types of sharks are really interesting!
Sorry about my bad English, this is my "second" language
They are naturally blind and use sensors, that is also why they swim in incredibly weird patterns.
Fake: it's eye blinks red its a robot!
Real: that's it's eyelid
