 Rarely Seen Shark Winds Up At Zoo.
For those of you who have not heard/seen this story yet, it is simply amazing.

The picture above features a frilled shark, rarely seen alive because its natural habitat is 600 metres or more under the sea, is seen in this photo released by the Awashima Marine Park in Numazu, south of Tokyo January 24, 2007. (Reuters)
| There are so many things about this that just make you think, ya know?
Like:
- This animal is considered a dinosaur because it's probably been around longer than us, and is so rare that we barely know anything about it.
- Who was crazy enough to get in the water to take a picture of a shark that hasn't seen a human in it's entire lifetime? I mean, how did this guy know that the shark wouldn't panic and attack immediately?
- What the heck else is hiding thousand of feet below the water? I am so scared to get in the ocean as it is, now I've got to worry about sea Monsters!
I just thought this picture/news story was amazing. What an ugly and frightening-looking creature, yes, but what an amazing thing to consider. We have barely "scratched the surface" of the animal kingdom. There is so much more to discover out there somewhere.  |
