Very well said man

In all seriousness, it looked weak as hell...

I'm thinking it was coming to the surface to die, anyways... as I'm sure is probably tradition for its species right before other sharks gobble it up.

I say we were fortunate as hell to stumble accross it, tape it, and get a little research on it done before it left its mortal coil.

looks too scary!

**wyldblyss** · 02-02-2007, 06:06 AM

I've actually seen a lot of that shark all over the net recently. Ugly is popular I guess

**x-zoom** · 02-02-2007, 06:07 AM

It's a mutant :D

**Emil** · 02-02-2007, 06:14 AM

I don't think they killed it. It did swim up to the surfice for some reason. Maybe because the shark was sick and was going to die?!?!

She did come up on her own, that much is true. But they MOVED the shark! They took her from the water and put her in a seawater pool where they then filmed her. She died shortly afterwards. Those fuckers at Awashima are true assholes.

saw that thing the other day on youtube. Was rated as one of the most viewed videos. Wild creature there.

**SomeCreep** · 02-02-2007, 10:57 PM

That shark is cool, but probably not as cool as other sea creatures in oceans on other planets in distant galaxies.

This one is weird too..

The goblin shark, Mitsukurina owstoni, is a rarely seen species of shark. It is notable for its long beak-like rostrum projecting forward of the jaws, its long, protruding jaws, and its pink color. When the jaws are retracted, the shark resembles a pink grey nurse shark, Carcharias taurus, with an unusually long nose. The goblin shark is the sole known living member of the family Mitsukurinidae; the relatively plentiful fossil record includes another two dozen or so species in two (extinct) genera, Scapanorhynchus and Anomotodon.

Most likely it was on its way out anyway. When critters like this come up from 2000' of water, it isn't because they are bored. Usually it is because they are sick/dying.
