    A rare film of a prehistoric shark that lives deep in the ocean is now available. This shark eats other species of sharks and other sea creatures. Wow!

    That thing is freaky looking. Especially the eye in that one picture.

    Wow!

    I would definitely move along if that lil´fishy would approach me while divin´.

    I like sharks, they have a lot of variation and many approaches to survival. I don´t get Reuters writing "ugly proportions". Man, it ain´t a beauty contest 600 metres underneath the sea.

    That is one cool looking shark. The eel-like body gives it a good "creep" factor too.

    Interestingly, if you sit around normally with sharks, they won't attack you. You can just sit there for hours, and them around you, and they won't attack...

    Mostly its just surfers who ever get attacked by sharks in the first place. The Boards look like Seals from below.

    Five feet of muscle and teeth, beautiful.

    I think the diver was rather reckless to approach her while she was obviously in poor condition. The idea to move her to shallow waters probably wasn't brilliant either. Maybe they thought a 'Save the Shark Show' would increase the publicity around this 'apparition'.

    It wandered into shallow waters on it's own, and as such was probably too out of it to even realize the diver was there.

    Whats really stupid is that they tried to catch it, and ended up killing the poor thing...

    I think it was already sick or something, that's why it had come to the surface to begin with. It died a few hours after being captured, not while being captured.

    Anyways, yeah, it's a pretty freaky looking thing. Apparently it's species has remained pretty much unchanged for millions of years?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    The prehistoric world must have been a scary place. I saw some of the pictures of the fish that came up after the tsunamai by India. Scary stuff.

    And yes. It would look awsome if the shark had a frikin lazer beam attached to his head.

    The first thing I thought of when I saw this was its resemblence, to a certain degree, of oriental dragon art.

    I'd have to agree with you there. Very freaky animal.
