Prehistoric Shark Found!

Tonight on the 11:00 PM CTV news, the anchor briefly touched on a news story about the discovery of a prehistoric shark off of the coast of Japan, near Tokyo. The shark was discovered near the surface, which is unusual for this species, as it a deep ocean creature which is usually found at 600 m deep. The shark was captured, but died shortly after as it was unable to survive outside of its deep ocean habitat. It is extremely unusual for the creature to be seen alive, especially in the shallows where it was spotted by a Japanese fisherman. They shark measured 1.6 m long, weighing 7.5 kg, with six gills and 300 bizarre forked teeth. Fossil records can be found of the animal dating as far back as 80 million years ago
