Rare Frill Shark
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.
Well, there you have it. Wonderful looking creature, in my oppinion. I love its' gills, they look so cool from the side.
