    "Living Fossil" Caught On Tape

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">TOKYO - A species of shark rarely seen alive because its natural habitat is 2,000 feet or more under the sea was captured on film by staff at a Japanese marine park this week.

    The Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka, south of Tokyo, was alerted by a fisherman at a nearby port on Sunday that he had spotted an odd-looking eel-like creature with a mouthful of needle-sharp teeth.

    Marine park staff caught the 5-foot long creature, which they identified as a female frilled shark, sometimes referred to as a ?living fossil? because it is a primitive species that has changed little since prehistoric times</div>

    It's amazing to think at what kind of creatures live that deep in the ocean.

    ^ I agree.

    And as a seafood lover - I wonder if it would taste nice.

    I like sea food but I don't think I'd ever be eating shark, squid, octopus, and all that other stuff. Give me some fried catfish and I'm good.

    seafood is awesome..squid is good, fish, tuna, sushi, and even octupuss is decent.. a little fried alligator is good if that falls under the seafood category
