This video shows rare footage
of a frilled shark in shallow
water. The frilled shark
(Chlamydoselachus anguineus)
is a primitive shark species,
sometimes called a 'living
fossil' because it resembles
extinct species of sharks.
Frilled sharks are usually
found at depths of around
2,000 feet, but 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. (Originally
aired on Nippon News Network -
Jan 23, 2007.)
