From today's NY Daily News:

It may not be a whopper of a fish tale after all. Four months after viral Internet photos of a dead, one-eyed albino shark pup were panned as a hoax, a Mexican marine biologist has surfaced saying the fish is the real deal, LiveScience reported.

Dr. Felipe Galvan Magana, a shark expert at the Interdisciplinary Centre of Marine Science, is reportedly on the verge of releasing a scientific paper claiming the find - which was found inside a pregnant bull shark caught by a local commercial fisherman off Cabo San Lucas is June - is a rare case of 'Cyclopia.'


 
The article I read said the shark was real and the necropsy found the ocular tissue would have functioned but that it most likely would not have survived in the wild very long.....
