READ FIRST!!!!
Taken from CNN's article:
Which they identified as a female frilled shark, sometimes referred to as a "living fossil" because it is a primitive species that has changed little since prehistoric times.

"They live between 1,968 and 3,280 feet (600 and 1,000 meters) under the water, which is deeper than humans can go."

"We think it may have come close to the surface because it was sick, or else it was weakened because it was in shallow waters," the official said.

Video:
A rare prehistoric shark, the Deep Sea Frill Shark, appears off the coast of Japan. The Frilled Shark usually inhabits deep waters between 400 and 4200 feet. The eel-like Frilled Shark may be responsible for some 'sea serpent' sightings.

This one somehow found its way into shallow water off the coast of Japan, where it was captured and taken to a nearby marine park. In poor condition, the shark died soon after this video was shot.

  • So fake

  • That's some Jeremy Kyle shark daym

  • @rollingbubbles6 quit being. a fagget and maybe use your brain, it was attacked and that's why it came up to the shore dumbass.

  • I believe that's just a simulation or mechanism that shows us what scientists believe on how this prehistoric being once looked and moved. ~Also, if that shark is said to live over 600 meters under the sea, than it wouldn't be very likely, if not impossible, that you would see it that close to the shore.

  • ok for all the retards out there....when it says prehistoric it means it is a shark species that was once only believed to live in prehistoric times not a prehistoric fish that has lived since prehistoric time...so if you are still flipping out and saying shit like ' ITS NOT A PREHISTORIC FISH ITS JUST A SHARK " well just let this information help you out and everything will be ok..no need to check your messages hoping someone agrees with you its goin to be ok ..because its just a fucking video.

  • the gills made me itch

  • weird part of youtube alert....

  • @FuOcO623 It is real. Just isnt prehistoric. I love when someone see's a weird looking fish and instantly is like ITS A FUCKING DINOSAUR! Or it could just be a retarded shark ;D

  • That shark swims with an open mouth with little teeth, suggests that it has little jaw power. This shark is not a hunter like the ones people normally know of. Also that its gills are kinda expoused with less skin and muscle covering them, interesting.

    Check this out! I have an aquarium video on my channel that shows the marine animals from Sydney Aquarium. Sharing with others online is Gold XD, just click on my name to watch, or search the name: Best Aquarium Video on youtube (Maybenot)

  • @snuggles343 shark rabies! :O
