RARE SPECIES SEEN!

A fisherman south of Tokyo alerted The Awashima Park in Shizuoka that he had seen an odd looking eel/shark creature swimming in the water. He had gotten footage of the 5ft creature and it was later caught and they had identified as a female frilled shark. But in captivity the shark was in poor condition and sadly died a few hours later. This was so rare because these frilled sharks, also known as the living fossil because it has changed little from the prehistoric times, live about 2,000ft under water, they also eat other sharks.  The link under frill shark will bring you to a YOUTUBE video of a Frill Shark.
