Weird Shark 1: Frilled Shark (Plus Others)


A true pre-historical living relic, the Frilled Shark, is a deep sea shark, with wide oceanic distribution living a depth ranging from 160 ft to a whopping 5000+ ft!  That is why when they are seen in more shallow waters, they are usually sick and dying.  One of the most striking features of this strange-toothed creature is it's lack of a dorsil fin, the thing that Steven Spielberg taught everyone to look for before yelling SHARK in Jaws.
