Jan 25 2007Rare sight of ancient shark
A shark with the ugly proportions of the pre-historic era has surfaced near Japan offering a rare view of this denizen of the deep. The "Frilled Shark" is hardly ever seen because its habitat is 600 metres or more below the ocean surface.
The shark was quickly captured after being spotted but died shortly after. Proving once again that our mission to eliminate all dinosaurs is going splendidly.

why are we trying to eliminate all dinosaurs? that shark didn't do anything wrong! he's just trying to live and survive. we're supposed to learn from the dinosaurs not eliminate them! and sure you can learn a lot from there bones and fossils but you can't learn shit about how they lived or what they ate and how they acted. god people are so damn stupid!!!!!

People had been killing sea dinosaurs for at least over 2 decades. This was before the ability to observe underwater. Some of the last giant squids were being drug up out of the ocean any chance a human got. I think there is a whole world under the ocean we don't need to touch. What if some centennial being that evolved enough as humans became curious and started making burrows beneath us and snatched our dogs and live stock ? The day will come, the day will come.

Obviously it was sarcastic the whole "Proving once again that our mission to eliminate all dinosaurs is going splendidly." Don't be dumb.

whoever wants to kill all dinosaurs are morons and dickheads screwyou dinks.Dinosaurs are majestic ancient creatures.
p.s. I know there is a real {not joking} megaladon outhere about 60to 70 feet long and probably 30,000 pounds.There are probably hundreds of them in the very deep waters of Borneo or North west Micronesia.You just have to explore.

You're right, it is going Splendidly, why do people have to be so... Cruel?

It's not really a dinosaur or anything prehistoric. Just take a "regular" shark, give it flared gills, an eel-like body, and make it a deep sea creature and there you have it.
Oh & by the way I really think that humans shouldn't be toying with nature either but...well...it would have died anyway because it couldn't take the heat of the water. Let's not forget that it came up on its own. We just found it up here.

I don't think people should be killikg dinosaurs. What did they do to us?!?!?!?!

They didn't kill the shark - if you read the complete story, it stated that the "the shark was already very ill and this was probably the reason why this normally deep sea creature was found at the surface.".
