A prehistoric shark called the "Frilled Shark" is known to be rare and living only at extreme depths. We've never been able to capture one on video, and some fisherman in Japan just found one swimming around the surface. I'm trying to find a good picture of the teeth, they are beyond creepy. /shudders

edit: Here's the best I can find.

    That is so cool looking! The long tail and ancient face really does make it look like a fossil.

    sometimes referred to as a “living fossil” because it is a primitive species that has changed little since prehistoric times.

    Bull shit. whistling.gif Have the seen one from prehistoric times to compare it to? Considering this is very rarely seen now days i doubt it.

    Lol, saw it a few days ago on the comcast fan thing. There was a movie of it swimming around. It looks pretty neat, I wonder where it came from, and why it's never been spotted before if it comes to the surface.
