Video ITV News Wednesday, January 24 bis 2007 A species of shark rarely seen alive because its natural habitat is about 2,000 feet below sea level on the film was directed by the staff at a Japanese marine park this week caught. The Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka, south of Tokyo, was founded on by a fisherman at a nearby port Sunday that he alerted an odd-looking eel-like creature with razor sharp teeth discovered in one gulp. Marine park staff caught the 5 foot (1.6 meter) long creature, which they identified as a female frilled shark known, sometimes called “living fossil” because it is a primitive type, which is little changed since prehistoric times is. The shark appeared to be in poor condition when park staff is a seawater pool where they swim and open their jaws moved filmed. “We believe moving pictures of a live specimen are extremely rare,” said an official of the park. “They live 1968-3280 feet (600 and 1000 meters) below the water that can go deeper than people.” “We think it may have come close to the surface because they are ill, or it was weakened because it was in shallow water,” the official said.
