  • Looks like an eel got it on with a shark.

  • They didn't kill it, it died because it was used to being under all the pressure of the deep sea.

  • It probably came from the Mariana Trench... if that's the case... of course it died! The conditions in the Challenger Deep are nothing like the usual "uptop" waters. What's found in the deep, should stay in the deep.

  • They did not kill it! It was about die anyways if they left it in the water. Don't try to be dumb.

  • thats one of the rarest sharks at all

  • Wild Gyarados Appeared!!...

  • Fucking Asians, They'll Kill anything!

  • Hey! that's chuck norris pet. 

  • I HAD 3 PEOPLE TELL ME

    I THINK I UNDERSTAND >:l

    no offence ._.

  • I had about 2 people telling me.

    I think i understand already.

  • It wasn't the last of it's kind. Their natural habitat is very very deep in the ocean so its rarely seen. To have been at the surface, it must have already been very sick and weak. It didn't even look too good when they were filming it. I'd say that it was probably close to dying anyway.

  • iHugHobos1, they are deep sea sharks they only come to the surface if they are very sick (sick enough to get caught in the up current and not brake out of it) so it was most lightly going to die anyway.
