First living dinosour 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, thats why they are also called living fossil.

I wish it could have survived.

I wouldn't say that's the first living "dinosaur". Ever heard of the coelocanth?

Nah, I'm not saying that our finned friend found in Japan was a coelocanth, just that rediscoveries of species thought to be long extinct is nothing new.

Oh, I get ya. Yeah, thats right.

Wow weird looking thing.

This story was first posted in January. Posts in this forum should be from stories within 48 hours.

And the title is misleading, even though it comes from the original source. A shark is not a dinosaur.

Even before this particular incident we knew they were alive.

Searching would be nice...

Man am I sick of seeing frilled shark topics!

It's not a dinosaur. Dinosaurs were reptiles. Regardless it's a cool find and we could discover much more of our planet if the world goverments quit wasting money on killing eachother.

This thread title is rather misleading.

But besides that its pretty incredible that some animals have survived for so long. And just think we've only explored 1% of the Ocean.

here is a video of it swimming at 0:44 look how weird it swims

It kills me to think about how much we are missing out on because of the very limited research done in the oceans.
