(PHOTO) Freaky Frilled Shark Caught Off Australian Coast is a 'Living Fossil'

Prehistoric looking, kinda way cool though.

dates back 80 million years, what else is still living from then? humans?

Wow awesome pic !! Does it have eyes? Did you see its teeth?

The eyes are the best! Reminds me of this:

They are deep sea creature so it is not a good sign to see them surfacing.

Expect some earthquake to happen in the area.

I thought the eyes were on top of the head. The eyes are on the side. Right next to those impressive row of teeth. Just when you thought you have seen it all. 5*

the crust in your underwear

It was caught in a net that was being dragged along the bottom over 2,000 feet down, by a trawler type fishing boat. The shark species didn't come up willingly or on it's own.

Damn that's crazy looking never heard about this kind of fish before...

That photo is somewhat misleading... the link sends you to the original story and the one caught is not as ugly:

...yep

Tremors sandworm!

Are they sure these aren't mutants?

Whale cock!

How do you circumcise a Whale?

Send down 4 skin divers.

Doom shark is ready.

I wonder what it tastes like?

Lol @ "80 million years"

Living fossil? Oh, like John McCain.

The teeth in a row are amazing.

If it were smaller, I would expect Wilma Flintstone to be opening cans with it.

And using it for her stone-slate shredder.

just for a visual reference

lol @ 6000 years

Is it wrong that this video makes me think of what a shark would look like if it turned vegan?

what, cos its ugly and malnourished?

That is a xindi from Star Trek.

Theres two other sharks listed at the bottom of the article, one being the "grotesque goblin shark"

First of all, imagine how badly it got picked on in school when its name started with "grotesque" and secondly, how the fuck do they even procreate? You can't really turn off the lights underwater...
