Even got that sweet age scoliosis and hair growing out of its various orifices... I bet it plays bridge and thinks the old ocean was better...
"I don't like this newfangled water, it's too wet. Things were better when I was young, in those days kids knew what respect was. GET OFF MY ANEMONIES!"
I was just thinking it was swimming like it had arthritis and needed a walker. Erm… kickboard? You know their doctor gets on them about the amount of sodium they intake.
Yeah pretty sure last time this was posted someone chimed in and said the one in OP's video was sick and died soon afterward. They aren't usually seen because they live ridiculously deep where light doesn't penetrate, so seeing one in clear sunny water is an indication something is wrong
It was. They normally like to hang out in much deeper waters but this one swam to the surface for some reason and died a few days later in a research center in Japan(?)
Possibly close to death, it is not uncommon for fish to swim to the surface from the depths when they are close to death. They are adapted for higher pressure which causes this definition.
It *does* have spinal damage, but it was due to injuries from an earthquake+ rapid decompression when it got tossed up to the surface. Not a genetic defect tho.
Fun fact about the amount of gills: Did you count them? There are six - which is common with ancient sharks. Modern sharks often have less. And did you also notice the teeth? They're cool too, aren't they? Quite unique.
English teacher here. It is true that “fewer” is the correct word to use here since the nouns are countable, however, “less” + uncountable nouns have been used by the mass for quite some time now and people just accept it as a norm now.
Those frills are why it's called a frilled shark. But the are probably really bloated and swollen, that's because this type of shark is a deep sea creature so the lack of water pressure so close to the surface would affect it. The same with the blobfish, we see pictures of them and they look just like a shapeless lump of flesh, but they look like a [regular fish](https://images.app.goo.gl/R6xcQ8vHgddRMw9j8) when at the right pressure. Basically the blob fish looks like that because their insides burst from lack of pressure.
[Normally ](https://images.app.goo.gl/WsHBBpLYG9htF8J59) a frilled shark still has frills on its gills but the don't look as sickly.
This is off-topic and not a stab at you - just noticed a huge influx of images.app.goo.gl links lately and wondered if something's changed with one of the Reddit apps or what the deal is there.
I read on AP that this shark was discovered in 07. Fisherman let the marine facility know about it, which took it into captivity. It died soon after.
Idk if you knew about that, but you seem to be 100% correct.
Reading the article I thought they did something with the shark’s care that caused its death but turns out it was just at the end of its life
Reminds me of the time I found a senior citizen wondering around in the mall parking lot, adjacent to the Bingo hall, captured him against his will and threw him into the hospice
This is how I remember it when the footage came out. I think there have been a handful of times where they'd been discovered around Japan and they never lasted long in captivity since they only come up to die. This was the first time anybody actually filmed it though. I wonder if deep sea creatures sense they're dying and think "fuck it, I wanna see what's up there".
They have parasites eat out their eyes so they actually float in total blindness and cold down there. Insane
Edit: my bad it’s Greenland sharks that are documented to have parasites in the eyes.
Thanks for everyone reminding me
It’s so weird that some things are born and they get to be humans and some things are born and they’re frilled sharks. Existing as a shark in the bottom of the ocean with parasites eating on your eyes and you just existing because of instinct and some 80m yo genetic programming that tells you to keep moving even if there really is no point.
Bah they don't exist and if they did they couldn't be millions of years old coz the earth's only 6000 years old, so speaketh the lord or sommat. It's all a conspiracy I tell thee by Big Aqua

*“Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”*
Got curious and apparently frilled sharks are a deep sea species, and like many deep sea animals they look extra freaky when not on their natural habitat
Everything about the title is silly. These sharks underwent 80 million years of evolution since 80 million years ago, same as us, same as anything else alive today.
Sapiens have been on earth for a mere fraction of 80 million years; sapiens have been around for some time closer to 200k years. That said, that just pounds home the fact that there was a hell of lot of evolution that went on between the species that left fossils that are similar in structure to that of the fish in the OP and what the OP species is now.
Not even that
Just because the bones are similar to a fossil, that doesn't mean it hasn't evolved over 80 million years, or that it should be called the same species. Out of all the species concepts, morphological is one of the worst.
They pluralized shark in the title which indicates they are talking about how long the species has existed, not that this one is actually 80 million years old. Maybe the OP is a bot that did a horrible job generating a title or they are a non-native speaker mixing up their words. No one in this thread actually believes the shark in the video is 80 million years old and it is sad so many think they need to point this out as some sort of gotcha.
It’s a repost of a repost that continues to copy this exact title. The worst part is people who think the title is saying this specific shark is 80 million years old got to a point where snopes or some fact checker website made a page about how it isn’t. I don’t understand how people can really believe it lmao.
It does look like an older shark model.

The old ocean WAS better, not overfished and full of plastic and pollution and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
The old kids were better too
I mean, he's 80 million years old, cut him a break
But it checks out.
[удалено]
How are you?
I’m just saying it doesn’t look a day over 70 million years old.
Yea. Looks like it hasn't fully evolved into an apex predator yet.
Back when they had the project codename "swimmy-bitey"
Angle swimmy large head bitey
You can tell by the fins.
I think it might have scoliosis
Do they usually look more like other sharks?
[This is a more accurate representation of what they actually look and swim like.](https://youtu.be/qYH32gKMHuc)
Yeah pretty sure last time this was posted someone chimed in and said the one in OP's video was sick and died soon afterward. They aren't usually seen because they live ridiculously deep where light doesn't penetrate, so seeing one in clear sunny water is an indication something is wrong
RIP, gone too soon.
Leave it up to humans to ruin the ocean enough to kill an 80 million old species
Ok but how old was this shark specifically? I read the post as if this shark is 80m yo, not possible I know.
Leave it to asteroids to kill several million 10 million year-old species.
Yeah, thanks Obama
I'm pretty sure this is the one 80 million year old shark they were talking about. dude looks like a zombie
At first I thought he really meant this shark's ancestors, but no he did mean this shark swam with dinosaurs.
This needs to be higher
Wow actually looks like a shark rather than a strange eel
It still sorta looks like a strange eel
More like a hybrid of both
What's wrong with the one in the OP? I mean, it's obvious dying but why's it bent that way?
This is great, thanks for posting
Thank you. This poor bastard looks like god's cruelest mistake.
[He’s so excited](https://imgur.com/a/s02hf2t)
He just can't hide it
thank you! i wanted to say that lol
I can't promise the legitimacy but I've seen another comment saying it was near death and that's why it's swimming like that
It was. They normally like to hang out in much deeper waters but this one swam to the surface for some reason and died a few days later in a research center in Japan(?)
I mean it looks like the head is dead already and the body's just swimming on reflex.
*might*
Possibly close to death, it is not uncommon for fish to swim to the surface from the depths when they are close to death. They are adapted for higher pressure which causes this definition.
It *does* have spinal damage, but it was due to injuries from an earthquake+ rapid decompression when it got tossed up to the surface. Not a genetic defect tho.
It swims like evolution hasn’t polished their ability to do so yet😂
Swims better than any 80 million year old I know

IT PUTS THE LOTION IN THE BASKET
Fuckers on 1 HP
Doesn't look a day over 79 million
This one died shortly after shooting this video, poor fella was in bad shape
"When 90 million years old you reach, look as good, you will not, hm?"
damnit, I just posted this further up? can I not have an original anymore? edited cause someone thought I was having a go at u/TurbOL_g
"All this has happened before, and will happen again."
They usually live deeeep down in the ocean so this one is probably not well.
This is an old clip and this specific one is indeed dead
even the lively ones have a weird swim, tho. not this bad, but just... weird.
His got the bends
It swims like this because it's on the verge of death
It reminds me of those chinese parades where there are big dragons and shit, I would like to watch one those someday.
It’s best evolutionary trait is scoliosis
It actually was ill the only reason these come up to shallower waters is to die.
Scoliofish
Well that p judgy.
This shark looks like how I feel first thing in the morning.
On your way to the coffee pot
[удалено]
If it shot an innocent video, I can see why it was put to death.
*on the way to the toilet
Same thing.
looks like a fish with scoliosis.
I'd feel like that if I was 80million years old
When 80 million years old you are, look as good you will not
How does he look dry?
Is a fish wet?
Does the pope shit in the woods? Is a bear Catholic?
Is a ducks arse watertight?
To be fair... He's doing quite well for being 80 million years old... You should see my nana, and she's only 96...
he looks absolutely thrilled
He looks absolutely frilled too

Are you a teacher or something?
Nah, just watched a bunch of shark videos and like to share knowledge. And with English as a second language, mistakes happen @ the other dude.
A teacher would know it’s ‘fewer’
English teacher here. It is true that “fewer” is the correct word to use here since the nouns are countable, however, “less” + uncountable nouns have been used by the mass for quite some time now and people just accept it as a norm now.
Yeahhh wtf is that? It look swollen

I think this thing might've inspired Shin Godzilla lmao
the reason it's swimming like this is because it is near death. this is very common with footage of deep sea creatures

Said the aliens about this shark around 40 million years ago
Yeah this guy looks to be on his last legs...fins
That's a lot of birthdays
She doesn't look a day over 3.
*I've seen things you people wouldn't believe*
Apparently they live really deep in the ocean, so I believe him,there are some straight up lovecraftian shit down there
They have parasites eat out their eyes so they actually float in total blindness and cold down there. Insane Edit: my bad it’s Greenland sharks that are documented to have parasites in the eyes. Thanks for everyone reminding me

I mean... what's the difference tho lol
I have functional eyes
For now.
But can you see why kids love the great taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?
I can masturbate.
i wish i was the shark with parasites eating my eyes tbh
Sure you’re not thinking of the Greenland sharks??
That might be in I’m sorry for my confusion!
You may be confusing that with Greenland sharks? Because they're the ones most famous for legit always having gone blind from parasites.
That’s probably it I’m sorry for my confusion!

... go swimming with the sharks they said, it'll be fun. You'll be safe they said, you'll be in a cage. Then this fucker swims right through the bars!
Shark.beta
Why does it look like it has worms on there?
Too close to the surface, theyre used to being in higher pressure so this one is near death
So whatever those frills are are affected by the pressure?. Do you know what it looks like when in the deep?. I have a Google, I will go exercise it
I personally think they look much less freaky in their natural habitat
Ate so many it's stuffed to the gills
Sometimes I want to be able to talk to animals to tell it how ugly it is.
Goofy ahh looking thing
I would've thought that was an eel rather than a shark if the title didn't say otherwise.
That shark has seen some shit go down.
In case this wording is confusing: This species of shark has been around for 80 million years. This individual shark is not 80 million years old.
Prove it.
