New discovery of a shark?


David Guillot discovered this “alien” shark or may I say rare shark, fishing in Australia’s deep seas something like this never had been seen. This frilled shark has up to 300 needle-like teeth, in rows of 25, and measured up to 5 feet with a body that resembles an eel, is a ‘live fossil” from 80 million years back. It  is known to live in deepest part of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, although it was found at 1,100  meters by this fisherman. Many fisherman probably never encounter these types of species because all these areas are off-limits, so this was a big unforgettable discovery. Of course, there is more out there that we have not seen because the seas and oceans are all very vast. Lets keep exploring the world people.
