This shark must never get laid... what a sin.

That could very well be the stuff of Nightmares...

   

Retard Shark

   

When I think all life on Earth might just have descended from something even uglier...

   

It must live in very deep water. Those opaque eyes are usually the type on deep ocean fish.

   

Damn that's like a shark and an eel got jiggy.

   

You're right. In the news story they printed awhile back, they mentioned that it lives somewhere around 1300+ ft(or metres?) below sea level, deeper than humans can go. They call it a living fossil, since it has changed little over the past couple million of years...

   

Perhaps that is the reason it died. I don't know how they acquired it but if they ripped it of the ocean floor maybe in got the bends.

Rare shark captured on film.

TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) -- A species of shark rarely seen alive because its natural habitat is about 2,000 feet under the sea was captured on film by staff at a Japanese marine park this week.

The Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka, south of Tokyo, was alerted by a fisherman at a nearby port on Sunday that he had spotted an odd-looking eel-like creature with a mouthful of needle-sharp teeth.

Marine park staff caught the 5 foot (1.6 meter) long creature, 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. (Watch divers swim with bizarre, ailing shark )

The shark appeared to be in poor condition when park staff moved it to a seawater pool where they filmed it swimming and opening its jaws. (Photo gallery: More pictures of this odd creature of the deep)

"We believe moving pictures of a live specimen are extremely rare," said an official at the park. "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.

The shark died a few hours after being caught.

Frilled sharks, which feed on other sharks and sea creatures, are sometimes caught in the nets of trawlers but are rarely seen alive.
