Rare Prehistoric Shark Found In Japan

This prehistoric shark is rarely seen alive as its natural habitat lies up to 1,280 metres (4,200 feet) deep under the sea. Experts at the Awashima Marine Park were able to examine the creature, which was a female, and film it swimming around.Unfortunately though it died a couple of hours after it was moved to its new environment.The eel-looking shark, with its mouth full of 300 trident-shaped teeth, measured 5.3 feet-long and weighed 16.5 pounds. Frilled sharks normally inhabit deep sea waters between 400 and 4,200 feet and rarely come to the surface. However they have been seen near the coast of Japan before, especially during the winter time when the water temperature drops and they have to get to warmer areas to feed. Frilled sharks can grow to a length of nearly 6.5 feet and eat deep-sea squids and other soft-bodied preys.Most specimen are found in the Japanese waters.

~Quotation~

"Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills." ~Andy Reyn~

"Near this spot are deposited the remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferocity, and all the Virtues of Man, without his Vices. This Praise, which would be unmeaning Flattery if inscribed over human ashes, is but a just tribute to the Memory of Boatswain, a Dog." ~Lord Byron ~

We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words. ~Anna Sewell~ (1820 - 1878)

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms. ~George Eliot~ (1819 - 1880)
