Rare “Prehistoric” Shark Photographed Alive
Frilled sharks are rarely seen fish that usually live thousands of feet beneath the sea and date back to prehistoric times. This so-called “living fossil” was captured after it swam close to the surface in Japan and died in captivity just hours later.

Who the fuck captured it? Why couldn't they just let it be? Even if it was sick they couldn't just let it pass away in peace?

Yeah but that story was from 2007. The poor thing was sick, came to the surface, was captured and died. http://raincoaster.com/2007/01/25/ancient-fossil-shark-filmed-off-tokyo/

Don't worry! Thanks to human's pollution or hunger for anything that walks/swims/crawls. Soon enough, he will become permanently prehistoric. I am sure he was turned into some type of shark fin soup or fillet
