i wonder if when its down where it lives (like 2000 feet below or whatever) if it is mean and aggressive? it looks like it just chills in the vids i saw of it, but they said it was dying or whatever. regardless, it sucks that it died, but its really creepy looking and i hate sea creatures, especially weird ones like that. ---

That is (was) a crazy looking shark. When I was a kid, I actually thought that those old black and white movies with godzilla and mothra were documentaries. I couldn’t understand why anyone would want to live in Japan. :dunno: ---

" **Video footage** of the frilled shark **near the sea surface** is very rare, and the park says it will keep the video for research purposes. The frilled shark is typically found at a depth of around 600 meters (2,000 feet). Its slender body grows to about 160 cm long, and unlike most sharks, which typically have 5 sets of gills, the frilled shark has 6 sets. It is **known as a “living fossil” for its resemblance** to extinct, Paleozoic sharks. " So as bad as it was for them to cage it up, and let it die. It wasn’t as terrible as it sounds. Sounds like it’s a bottom feeder. ---

Fish are more fascinating then all the animals that live on land. So many more unexplored areas and creatures we’ve never seen. It’s rare footage because it isn’t supposed to be there I guess…lol ---
