i just wanna share this with you underwater world enthusiasts! i saw on the tv news a few days ago about a primitive shark found in Japan. it looks like no other shark ive seen before on pictures. its body looks like an eel with a big mouth full of nasty teeth. it was 5 feet long and it said to live 600meters deep, too deep for scuba divers to go huh? it was a rare find since it was also known as a "living fossil". there have been previous sightings of this shark but its nowly now that it was documented alive. but sadly, it died a few hours after it was transferred to a marine park. it had been clearly ill before its capture since it was reported to be found on shallow waters.
