These sharks are deep sea creatures that seem to only show up at the surface to die (like that other bizarre frillshark). They found it on its way out so don't blame the Japanese for studying a shark in its retirement days.
they killed another rare shark? JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE AND LET IT BE! simply looking at it isn't enough for you? you have to prod it do death. good job.
greta1989 that is preastoric beacuase that goblin shark has never been seen in any ocean the goblin sharks does not!!! have a lonfg nose bitch or mother fucker
It's design just seems so purposeful. It's almost flat along the bottom with so many sensors up front that nothing could escape it. One of the most perfectly adapted hunters I've ever seen IMO. Evolution is amazing.
@haynakaw999 They're use to huge pressures since they live in very deep waters. Just because it's in an aquarium doesn't mean that the aquarium is replicating those huge pressures.
Uhmm... thats what I was implying. Since its an aquarium theres virtually no pressure XD. SInce pressure is the weight of all the water around you. You cant do that in an aquarium.
Peta might be extreme at times, but they make good points. Sharks make sure that oceans are healthy. If oceans are healthy, humans can survive on this planet.
Sure it's more fun to think of instant gratification and who really gives a shit about what happens after they die... So yea, enjoy your tiny little world.
Heh, this reminds me of Beetle Juice remember that dead old lady told the dead girl or boy to make them look scary oh it was the girl! I think lol looks like that underneath the goblin shark xD
This is my first time ever hearing of a goblin shark but still I'd have to say my favorite is the hammerhead. What was the shark world's equivalent of Tom Delay's nickname?
i bet anything that there is another prehistoric shark or fish in the sea that we haven't discover that lives deep in the sea like the Frill Shark,Goblin Sharl, and the Coelocanth
why would it die? because of the sudden change in pressure acting outside of it's body:D it's body is conditioned for high pressure, deep down where it lives, not for our "above the sea level" pressure. that's why we rarely see prehistoric/rare sea creatures on our level, vice versa.
in response to forkbone: thank god we have a bunch of undiscovered stuff. i hate it when humans are like oh theres so much out there we dont know about: GOOD! EEP IT THAT WAY! when we go to discover it we just gonna fuck it up anyways and hurt the organisms environment. :P
but it also lets us use our imaginations to just think about what the hell is out therre.
It Must be a Deep sea Creature as usually they come up from the bottom to die........im guessing people dont see them because when they die fish start eating them
@2edmunds Goblin sharks are pretty amazing. I love seeing how flowing its swimming motion is here and how the tail actually moves in the water. I've always wondered.
When you get a bottom shot of the shark, you'd think it's completely freaky and ugly (what I thought) but once you see the top or the side view, you notice this shark is a complete beauty.
yes but not the most common this one lives in slightly deep water while the more known one lives in much deeper water thats why the tank is light and not darker if it were a little darker thow the shark would still be on this earth (dumb scientist stop killing the earth)
@axe11154 They did specifically say in one of the other videos about it that it was caught in shallow water by some fishermen. It probably wasn't well to begin with.
who are you talking about "they"? oh unless they are white its okay to kill animals? nobody say anything when the hill billies running around shooting anything they see huh? you know why you whitey dont have anymore rare species? you shot and mount them all fuck tards.
I read the description, and maybe if the idiots from Tokyo didn't catch it and put it in an environment in which it was not accustomed to, it wouldn't have died.
See??? Why do japanese people always have to experiment with everything!? Why can't they just learn from other countries? And instead of being such hi-tech nerds,
why can't they must put a little more effort into studying them out in the nature...
scientists have to kill everything to figure out something. I remember a few years back hey found the oldest giant clam on record but they had to kill it to learn it was that old.
these deep sea fish can't survive for long at higher depths otherwise they'd be in aquariums everywhere
It is a Goblin Shark. The jaw is retractable and is only projected to catch prey. Pictures of killed Goblin Sharks show the jaw projected because the ligaments are relaxed.
i noticed that all these videos have said that a really rare shark was caught but died in days......i say stop catching them and just study them in there normal habbitat....i mean seriously....come on
it only means......that japan's sea and other body forms of water are still healthy and lively.imagine in a country that is highly civilize in technology they still found those creatures.........
The goblin shark lives not only in darkness, but at unholy pressures and near-freezing temperatures. It's gotta have retractable jaws--it may not eat again for weeks so it's gotta catch anything, and it needs to maintain a streamlined profile. I'm wondering if captived goblins die simply from the drastic pressure difference. Thoughts?
The pressure change is one of the reasons the frilled shark video floating around here is so sad. Maybe I'm anthropomorphizing, but she looks like she's in agony.
The frilled shark was dying when they found her. I imagine she was in agony, but it wasn't humans who brought her into the shallows. In the case of this poor beast though, I have no idea.
Thank you for telling me that. I didn't know--I thought it was something the Japanese dredged up in their purse-seines. I thought they just got a kick out of an abyssal fish flailing around trying to escape. I'm glad--and sad--it was filmed as it was. What on earth made it come to the surface? Do they feed there at night> Anyway, thank you for relieving my mind.
Some deep species do feed in shallows at night, but not the frilled shark. Most likely the animal was ill or was driven near the surface by an underwater earthquake, storm or even a predator. She didn't die because of the pressure difference -- sharks are one of the few animals that can tolerate pressure changes well -- but temperature. The deep ocean is very cold, and she overheated. She was also pregnant, poor thing.
Ok, let's think about this for a second. Do u honestly think that a creature in a weakened state could go that far up t the surface without being eaten? Let alone make it all the way to Tokyo harbor? No it wouldn't it would be eaten before it made it to the surface. even if it did make it to the surface, it would be outlined so that every creature could see it up there, so then it would definitly be eaten.
Yes, it could. It happens. It has been definitively documented. In the case of the oarfish, I saw pictures of the damn thing swimming in a shallow, crowded harbor before people even captured it. It was dying and disoriented as hell, but it made it up from its natural habitat (which is about a mile down) all the same. In fact, ONLY sick creatures usually wander out of their habitats like that.
Yes only sick creatures do that, and theyd probly die. but the chances of that happening as many times as the japanese gov't claims its happened is unreal
Possible. They're not above lying where their treatment of sealife is concerned, and they tend to treat the ocean like shit. I won't argue that it's definitely not the case. Just saying, there's a good chance it really was found in the bay. Strange things turn up there, especially after earthquakes.
theres always a chance, if u throw a normal dice 99 times and it always lands on 6 dosnt mean the 100th time it lands on 6, just because theyve lied before about things dosnt mean theyre lying now (sorry about spelling, dyslexia)
its prob cus they take them out of there habitat and there not used to the water temp or acidity lvl and die, that's most likely what happened to the that prehistoric shark they found i n japan a while back
"Caught in Tokyo Harbor" okay, whatever, this coming from the same people who say they're killing whales for "Research" Why would a shark that lives in the deep sea be swimming around Tokyo Harbor? It wouldnt they brought it to the surface, and put it in an aquarium to die
It actually does happen sometimes. Deep-sea animals come up to the surface or into the shallows because they're sick, or a storm or deep-sea disturbance forced them up. It's possible this goblin shark was captured deliberately, but it is also possible it was found just as they said. It's happened before with other deep-sea species -- an oarfish, a frilled shark, etc.
I no it does, but if you look at how many times Japan's claimed that with deep sea creatures it's A LOT!!!! Why does it seem to happen so much in Japan and not in say China, or the rest of the world? They lie, I know deep sea creatures were found after the Indian Tsunami, but that was becasue of a Tsunami. Japans claimed that way too many times for it to be true
Well, let's see. Japan is an island nation set in deep Pacific waters, often with a sharp continental dropoff only a short distance from shore. It's also seismically active, with undersea volcanoes and frequent earthquakes that could drive such creatures to the surface, as well as frequent tsunamis. Given all those factors, no, it's really not that strange.
I know this shark species - however, these marine biologists, how catched and keep this shark in this tank, they know how to feed it. This shark species is not so rare - but biologists are convinced, the sea below 200 feet is not discovered. Every year they find new species of fish or mollusks. The biologists know, how to keep them alive in tank.
ok then smart one how come it died a few days later then as it was perfectly healthy, it died because it wasn't in it's own surroundings much like a great white will stop feeding when in captivaty, when captive sharks stop feeding they begin to deteriorate and for what there's no reason for this, if you want to see animals in their natural habitat go on a safari or go diving because that's more rewarding than seeing them in cages or behind glass and that way we don't risk loosing our wildlife.
plus i've studied sharks for over 20 years so i should know what im talking about, anyway taking animals and putting them on show is down right fucking cruel.
If you've studied sharks for 20 years, you should know that this species isn't indigenous to Tokyo bay, and had wandered far from its territorial waters and proper depth, probably from old age or sickness, and was destined to die soon, anyway.
Nature is downright cruel, and accidents like these unfortunately happen.
yes but let nature take it's course and when it's dead then take it to study, i don't get you people you keep these animals in zoos and aquariums and you attract people by saying " come and see these animals in their natural habitat " uhh hello this is NOT their natural habitat it is merely a prison and should not be allowed...
dude you're not that smart. It's rare (meaning hardly seen) becaue it's not a common shark many people see because it is so deep down . There are so many mysteries in the ocean that hell there may even be an eal that's 20 feet long with a 10 foot head. You'll reply saying there is no such thing but how do you know? With nature you neversay never because there so many things that people don't know like you
Yes the sea below 300 feet is not well known, always they find new species in the deep. Such trips into the deep by submarines are expensive. In the stomachs of Sperm whales they find giant squids (Architeuthis) we have never seen it alive. Tell me the name of this 20 feet long eel.
This Goblin shark Mitsukurina owstoni lives off S-Japan-but they even catched it in S-Africa, Australia and S-Americal too. It is not a rare species but it is hard to watch it alive, cause it lives below 1000 feet
I'm not realy saying there is a 20 foot eal but no one knows for sure because sending a sub down to the deep is vry expensive. Making you having to wonder what types of creatures that do live that have ner been seen by anyone before other then other creatures in the deep
Such long eels in the deep are not uncommon. Maybe you mean the Pelican-Eel (Eurypharynx pelecanoides), his head is the half of his bodysize. You wrote, it has a big mouth-all deep sea fish have huge jaws with extreme long fangs - to catch prey more easily in the darkness. Life is rare in the deep, so they have to wait for weeks. Sometimes their prey has the same size like themself. An other long eel from the deepsea is the Bandfish - they are very rare and they can get 5-7 meters.
Know one can ssay there is and no one can't say there isn't only a small % has been search in the sea, the only recorded Pelican eal was 4-6 feet long but they could of been babies for all we know. I said about a ten foot wide mouth, most but you never know damn there maybe even those swing dinosaurs people say no there isn't but where's the proof. Where's the proof it's real? there is none the photos that were taken were fakes. If you can't see something it doesn't mean it's not real,
you dumb fucks should leave these sharks alone, nobody knows what this animal needs in order to survive but they take it out of their natural habitat anyway it's fucking sickening, it's like going to the north pole in normal clothes you would die in no time as you simply can't addapt to the extreme temperatures, you dumb fucks ever heard of the saying you can look but you can't touch well take heed because if you carry on taking creatures you know nothing about then they'll be extinct FOR GOOD.
why is it always japan and simuliar countrys that these wonderful cretures only to kill them!!!

The goblin shark lives not only in darkness, but at unholy pressures and near-freezing temperatures. It's gotta have retractable jaws--it may not eat again for weeks so it's gotta catch anything, and it needs to maintain a streamlined profile. I'm wondering if captived goblins die simply from the drastic pressure difference. Thoughts?

The pressure change is one of the reasons the frilled shark video floating around here is so sad. Maybe I'm anthropomorphizing, but she looks like she's in agony.

The frilled shark was dying when they found her. I imagine she was in agony, but it wasn't humans who brought her into the shallows. In the case of this poor beast though, I have no idea.

Thank you for telling me that. I didn't know--I thought it was something the Japanese dredged up in their purse-seines. I thought they just got a kick out of an abyssal fish flailing around trying to escape. I'm glad--and sad--it was filmed as it was. What on earth made it come to the surface? Do they feed there at night> Anyway, thank you for relieving my mind.

Some deep species do feed in shallows at night, but not the frilled shark. Most likely the animal was ill or was driven near the surface by an underwater earthquake, storm or even a predator. She didn't die because of the pressure difference -- sharks are one of the few animals that can tolerate pressure changes well -- but temperature. The deep ocean is very cold, and she overheated. She was also pregnant, poor thing.

Ok, let's think about this for a second. Do u honestly think that a creature in a weakened state could go that far up t the surface without being eaten? Let alone make it all the way to Tokyo harbor? No it wouldn't it would be eaten before it made it to the surface. even if it did make it to the surface, it would be outlined so that every creature could see it up there, so then it would definitly be eaten.
RebelSince1776 2 years ago
Yes, it could. It happens. It has been definitively documented. In the case of the oarfish, I saw pictures of the damn thing swimming in a shallow, crowded harbor before people even captured it. It was dying and disoriented as hell, but it made it up from its natural habitat (which is about a mile down) all the same. In fact, ONLY sick creatures usually wander out of their habitats like that.
ianam1983 2 years ago 3
Yes only sick creatures do that, and theyd probly die. but the chances of that happening as many times as the japanese gov't claims its happened is unreal
RebelSince1776 2 years ago
Possible. They're not above lying where their treatment of sealife is concerned, and they tend to treat the ocean like shit. I won't argue that it's definitely not the case. Just saying, there's a good chance it really was found in the bay. Strange things turn up there, especially after earthquakes.
ianam1983 2 years ago
Okay, I agree that this couldhv actually happened, but I no theres not a chance these incidents have hapened as many times as they said they have
RebelSince1776 2 years ago
theres always a chance, if u throw a normal dice 99 times and it always lands on 6 dosnt mean the 100th time it lands on 6, just because theyve lied before about things dosnt mean theyre lying now (sorry about spelling, dyslexia)

"Caught in Tokyo Harbor" okay, whatever, this coming from the same people who say they're killing whales for "Research" Why would a shark that lives in the deep sea be swimming around Tokyo Harbor? It wouldnt they brought it to the surface, and put it in an aquarium to die
RebelSince1776 2 years ago 6
It actually does happen sometimes. Deep-sea animals come up to the surface or into the shallows because they're sick, or a storm or deep-sea disturbance forced them up. It's possible this goblin shark was captured deliberately, but it is also possible it was found just as they said. It's happened before with other deep-sea species -- an oarfish, a frilled shark, etc.
ianam1983 2 years ago
I no it does, but if you look at how many times Japan's claimed that with deep sea creatures it's A LOT!!!! Why does it seem to happen so much in Japan and not in say China, or the rest of the world? They lie, I know deep sea creatures were found after the Indian Tsunami, but that was becasue of a Tsunami. Japans claimed that way too many times for it to be true
RebelSince1776 2 years ago
Well, let's see. Japan is an island nation set in deep Pacific waters, often with a sharp continental dropoff only a short distance from shore. It's also seismically active, with undersea volcanoes and frequent earthquakes that could drive such creatures to the surface, as well as frequent tsunamis. Given all those factors, no, it's really not that strange.

Now that looks downright tasty. I want to eat it. :<

leave it to the Japanese to catch a rare shark and put it into an aquarium only to die late. (less than 2 days)

the jaws come right out when they're attacking prey so that's why the one you saw looked different.

I know this shark species - however, these marine biologists, how catched and keep this shark in this tank, they know how to feed it. This shark species is not so rare - but biologists are convinced, the sea below 200 feet is not discovered. Every year they find new species of fish or mollusks. The biologists know, how to keep them alive in tank.

ok then smart one how come it died a few days later then as it was perfectly healthy, it died because it wasn't in it's own surroundings much like a great white will stop feeding when in captivaty, when captive sharks stop feeding they begin to deteriorate and for what there's no reason for this, if you want to see animals in their natural habitat go on a safari or go diving because that's more rewarding than seeing them in cages or behind glass and that way we don't risk loosing our wildlife.

plus i've studied sharks for over 20 years so i should know what im talking about, anyway taking animals and putting them on show is down right fucking cruel.
wellytester77 3 years ago 5
If you've studied sharks for 20 years, you should know that this species isn't indigenous to Tokyo bay, and had wandered far from its territorial waters and proper depth, probably from old age or sickness, and was destined to die soon, anyway.
Nature is downright cruel, and accidents like these unfortunately happen.
TheColoradoan 2 years ago
yes but let nature take it's course and when it's dead then take it to study, i don't get you people you keep these animals in zoos and aquariums and you attract people by saying " come and see these animals in their natural habitat " uhh hello this is NOT their natural habitat it is merely a prison and should not be allowed...
andrewjones1977 2 years ago 4
dude you're not that smart. It's rare (meaning hardly seen) becaue it's not a common shark many people see because it is so deep down . There are so many mysteries in the ocean that hell there may even be an eal that's 20 feet long with a 10 foot head. You'll reply saying there is no such thing but how do you know? With nature you neversay never because there so many things that people don't know like you

Yes the sea below 300 feet is not well known, always they find new species in the deep. Such trips into the deep by submarines are expensive. In the stomachs of Sperm whales they find giant squids (Architeuthis) we have never seen it alive. Tell me the name of this 20 feet long eel.
This Goblin shark Mitsukurina owstoni lives off S-Japan-but they even catched it in S-Africa, Australia and S-Americal too. It is not a rare species but it is hard to watch it alive, cause it lives below 1000 feet
Ixtulu 2 years ago
I'm not realy saying there is a 20 foot eal but no one knows for sure because sending a sub down to the deep is vry expensive. Making you having to wonder what types of creatures that do live that have ner been seen by anyone before other then other creatures in the deep
KierrokCyclone 2 years ago
Such long eels in the deep are not uncommon. Maybe you mean the Pelican-Eel (Eurypharynx pelecanoides), his head is the half of his bodysize. You wrote, it has a big mouth-all deep sea fish have huge jaws with extreme long fangs - to catch prey more easily in the darkness. Life is rare in the deep, so they have to wait for weeks. Sometimes their prey has the same size like themself. An other long eel from the deepsea is the Bandfish - they are very rare and they can get 5-7 meters.
Ixtulu 2 years ago
Know one can ssay there is and no one can't say there isn't only a small % has been search in the sea, the only recorded Pelican eal was 4-6 feet long but they could of been babies for all we know. I said about a ten foot wide mouth, most but you never know damn there maybe even those swing dinosaurs people say no there isn't but where's the proof. Where's the proof it's real? there is none the photos that were taken were fakes. If you can't see something it doesn't mean it's not real,
KierrokCyclone 2 years ago
you dumb fucks should leave these sharks alone, nobody knows what this animal needs in order to survive but they take it out of their natural habitat anyway it's fucking sickening, it's like going to the north pole in normal clothes you would die in no time as you simply can't addapt to the extreme temperatures, you dumb fucks ever heard of the saying you can look but you can't touch well take heed because if you carry on taking creatures you know nothing about then they'll be extinct FOR GOOD.

that shark is very pretty.
the tail is beautiful
fucking dumb people who caught it should have left it alone >=[
