Strange looking fish

How would you like to have this thing swim up next to you? It's a rare frilled shark, filmed minutes before it died in a water park in Japan.

No thank you... yech!

Thing has a mouth full of teeth don't it? Too bad it died...

Another shot.

none for me

So they caught this thing and placed it in a tank?

I think it was just recently that a Japanese crew captured live video footage of a Giant Squid, which also later died.

Good ol' Youtube!

What's the name of this other fish? Maybe there's video of it, too. It might be even creepier when it moves.

That is weird looking. Check this one out. It's called a coelacanth and is over 400 million years old. It was believed to be have been extinct until one was caught off the coast of South Africa in the 1930's....really interesting

Yuck. I'd rather face a great white. I wonder if bopping it on the nose would scare that ugly thing off?

That fish is over 400 million years old!? Dayum......

Wonder what will happen if I bop you on the nose...

I found a video link to the filler shark footage, but i guess the server is getting slammed. It keeps cutting off at the same moment.....when the shark bumps the camera! I keep wondering if he ate it.

I can see why it died. Its habitat is in very deep waters. There are all kinds of unidentified, elusive and rare critters down there.

It'd make me horny(er).

Yeah... its a good reminder that there are all kind of cool creepy things swimming around in the deep. IT's amazing to think that this shark is pretty much the same as it was hundreds of millions of years ago. Too bad she died, but as shallow as she was found I guess it was inevitable.

Sometimes it's really easy to understand where myths about sea monsters came from.

That is so true and it makes you wonder just what else is down there. ACK!
