Scientists in Japan got a rare glimpse of a living fossil when a rare shark species that typically lives thousands of feet down in the ocean was captured on video swimming near the surface. Researchers think the rare (and scary-looking) 'frilled shark' was ill, causing it to surface. It later died

  • global warming and changing of ocean tid...

    This type of behavior was mentioned several years ago by the EPA. Deep water creatures coming surface bound to die. Birds, fish, whales, ects migration routes becoming inconsistant.... swarms of lotus and moths and plagues, LOL just joking

  • ha

    Suspicious that the shark was captured and two hours after it was dead, they say it was unwell and disoriented but I think they did a nice soup.

  • some info...

    On January 23, 2007, staff at Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka, south of Tokyo, were alerted by fishermen to a 'strange eel-like fish with razor sharp teeth'. The fish was identified as a female 1.6 m frilled shark and was captured by park staff who were concerned that the shark appeared to be unhealthy. The shark died a few hours after capture. This rare surface appearance of a frilled shark has been attributed to the animal being unwell and possibly disorientated.

    • If you think about it...

      Actually the fact that you wrote it may come to be useful for hearing impaired people that may be watching this video, so just shake off the criticism.

      Tómalo Suave.
