This is a frilled shark. Frilled sharks are found throughout deep waters in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It is often described as a living fossil because of its resemblance to extinct, Paleozoic sharks. They are rarely seen alive because of their preference for deep water.


Comments:

These are very rare sharks. Could even go extinct soon if awareness isn't spread.

This is also known as the dragon shark. It's considered endangered, and is typically found near the coast of Japan.
