From http://news.mongabay.com/2007/0124-shark2.html

A rare frilled shark was captured live by fishermen off the coast of Japan. The toothy eel-like creature was taken to Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka where it later died according to Reuters.

The 5-foot (1.6 meter) long beast was believed to be ill because it was found in shallow waters. Generally the species, known as Chlamydoselachus anguineus, lives at a depth of 488-4550 feet (150-1400 m). It is considered a primitive shark, largely unchanged since prehistoric times.

"We believe moving pictures of a live specimen are extremely rare," Reuters quoted an official at the park as saying. "They live between 600 and 1000 metres 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."

I really hate to admit it but that looks just like a blind date I had back in the '60s. I don't remember her name but how could I forget that face..
Damn

No kidding. We spend billions sending R/C cars to Mars, but have not even come close to understanding our own planet.

Mike,

Her name was Ethel Mae Fudpucker. We must have had a mutual friend, because I had a blind date with her also. She must have gone to Miller High School because it was probably the Benkendorfer sisters who fixed us up. Very Happy Very Happy

And i thought stepping on a ray or getting bumped by a shark was scary. That thing gives me the creeps. (Talk about making you leave a chum slick) And by the way, I know they had bags back in the 60's,, are you my father.. LOL
