SHARK!!!

[underpants]

A frilled shark, rarely seen alive because its natural habitat is 600 metres or more under the sea, is seen in this photo released by the Awashima Marine Park in Numazu, south of Tokyo January 24, 2007. (Awashima Marine Park/Handout/Reuters)

5. Did you watch the video of her swimming? It was so

clear that she was ailing. It sort of broke my heart.

Still, so very cool - prehistoric shark sighting. Wow.

6. Totally freaky ...

Seeing things like that make be wonder what else is down there we have no idea about.

This planet still has so many secrets. Too bad we kill them off before we discover them.

10. Real primitive looking...

I read somewhere in the '60s a Japanese fishing trawler caught some unknown dead critter (huge)
and they ultimately decided it had been one of these.
