This is one badass looking shark/eel. It doesn't look harmful at all, but it's got lots of razor sharp teeth

Does this belong in the videos section? Because what are we suppose to discuss?

I think it CAN do the damage, but it doesn't really look like it will.. and what he meant by that is that it's looks were badass, but.. yeah.

I would like to see the video if they ever realease it.

It's not like sharks attack everything they see. Besides, this one appeared to be sick.

Sharks get such a bad rap. Sure, Jaws is one of my favorite movies (*glances at avatar*), but more people really need to be aware of the differences between the killer movie sharks, and the real sharks that mostly mind their own business.

That is one cool critter in the video, though.

Whoa! I never saw that animal before. It looks really strange and nothing like a shark except the face. Shows how many animals exist in the world that we having discovered yet

Heh, maybe one of these has once lived in Loch Ness. In the picture, it sort of does look like how people portray the creature that has supposedly been seen in that lake.

Hmm, its refered to as a living fossil, hmm, wasnt there a fish on Animal Crossing that was also refered to as a living fossil?


@Doodan: Your avatar is no longer the shark picture, if you havent noticed...

But its Quint, the shark hunter from Jaws.

You know what's weirder than frilled sharks?

GOBLIN SHARKS!


Although it's dead, the only difference between a that one and live ones is that live ones are pink.

You're talking about the one that's supposed to be somewhere in the Smithsonian, right?

Lmao.
The whole issue of this shark is how it is genetically unchanged from when dinosaurs were still around.

Click on the video on the left side of that link.

ADDITION:
We talked about this in my Hon. Bio class.

ADDITION:
Lol, one more addition, in the video, notice its floating and its mouth is open. I think that one died.

...except that it's a saltwater fish and Loch Ness is all fresh.

Possibly a coelacanth? They're some of the most commonly referenced living fossils.

Yes, that's the one in Animal Crossing. Whatever that has to do with anything.

Thats an odd looking shark...it kinda looks like a jellyfish / shark

That thing's creepy... I'd rather not find one of those swimming around at a beach somewhere, which means the depth that they live at is good for me

Coelcanth, like green_meklar said, and there is one in the Smithsonian. I saw it on my last trip to D.C., and it's one crazy lookin' fish. Sorta flat...

Kinda sad that it died after they caught it. They usually live 2000 feet below but why do you think it decided to come up close to the surface?

just goes to show there are over 20,000 different species in the oceans that humans never saw.

I wonder if theres a dolphin/stingray

I've seen one too. A dead specimen, of course; so far I don't think they've managed to keep them alive in captivity.

Theres a lake in Nicaragua (or somewhere in central america) where they found salt water fish living in fresh water. One of the theorys to Loch Ness is that a fish could have been living in it and it closed off making a lake, and the fish adapts to the water. I think its odd that there is so many freaking looking things that dont come out very often that we fuss about =) I fussed about it too though.

You would think that they wouldn't keep a shark that lives 2000ft below the surface in such a shallow tank :/

Not like they had many options in the few short hours they had it.

these sharks are like 1000 years old, we watched this in science, and like 1 hour after this video it died. My teacher said it couldnt find food in its environment so it left and died. crazy stuf, fishermen have brought up dead sharks like this too

No known animal can live for 1000 years. Only plants and funguses and bacteria and so on can live that long in nature.
