Yay! I love frilled sharks they have been my favorite for many years but thats not the point, the point is that they got one swimming on tape. Now this was two years ago so most of you have probably heard about it but anyhow the frilled shark was up near the surface and caught by a local fisherman, this is exciting because they usually are in depths around 600-1,000 metres below sea level. The lowest recorded depth of a human going underwater that I have seen is 100 meters so these are very rarely seen anyway,now back to the article. After the frail shark was caught, the Awishima marine park was contacted. From there they put the frilled shark in a large saltwater tank and videotaped the shark swimming with its mouth and eyes open. The shark died a few hours after capture. =(
