The final episode of Shark Week on BOTL gives us a look at the rarest Shark of all....the Don Carlos Shark.
Not the oldest of the Shark species, the Don Carlos Shark was first seen in 2001. Original forms of this creature had a thinner body than the current Sharks found in the wild. The Shark now possesses the same body type as the other Sharks that can be currently found.
The Don Carlos Shark shares Cameroon ties with the Anejo Shark, but its similarities stop there. Only a handful of these Sharks are known to exist.

Prior to setting this beast to flame, the DC Shark has a clean tobacco taste. There is a slight fruit flavor, which reminds me of raisin. The first third gives off a nutty flavor, which is mixed with cinnamon and light cream. There is also bits of again what seems to be raisin.
Midway through, the flavor brings cedar into the flavor profile. The light cream has disappeared. Cinnamon and now black cherry balance out the flavor. Again, like its cousins, this Shark put up a strong fight trying to hold on, but its spirit broke before I could take the next picture.
The end of the battle with this Shark brought on a stronger cedar flavor. Black cherry and cinnamon provided a tremendous flavor on the back of the palate.
This creature provided an amazing fight to the finish...lasting just over 2 hours.
