A rare prehistoric
shark, the Deep Sea Frill Shark, appears off the coast of Japan. The
Frilled Shark usually inhabits deep waters between 400 and 4200 feet.
The eel-like Frilled Shark may be responsible for some 'sea serpent'
sightings.
This one somehow found its way into shallow water off
the coast of Japan, where it was captured and taken to a nearby marine
park. In poor condition, the shark died soon after this video was shot.
