I remember watching Shark Movies when I was young – my Mother just love those monster-movies for some reason, and yes, shark is one of them! Finding out that there was a living dinosaur shark in Japan (like 3 years ago) is shocking and unbelievable.

Living Dinosaur Shark Found in Japan

This type of shark is very different from what we usually see. It has six gills and the body is like an eel, normally living under 600-1,000 meters deep in ocean. They have very long history of 50 million years, that’s why they are also called living fossil.

Unfortunately the shark died as they took it out of its natural habitat -_-.
