Rare Frill Shark


King Kobra

298 views

I don't know if anybody else saw this on the news, but some people off the coast of Japan caught a rare deep-water Frill Shark! It was sick, and they suppose that it either traveled to the surface because it was, or the surface made it sick (being a deep-water shark and all). They're usually accustomed to being several thousand feet down in the ocean, so I believe that it was the shallow tides that made the poor creature sick. After caught, they placed the animal in a sea-water tank on shore, but it died only hours after. Poor shark. :(

 

I even have some pictures I found on the internet, 4 in total.

Yea I was amazed by this find. The creature looks like something out of pre-history, I guess it just goes to show how little we know about the deep seas.

The shark looks pretty cool. I watched the video on aol news about half an hour ago, and I have to say, astounding. It definately would look great in a Jurassic Park/Jaws collaboration. :lol:
