116 Living Dinosaur Shark found in Japan picture

Recently Japan caught a very rare deep ocean shark.

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, that’s why they are also called living fossil.

The shark was in a very weak condition and died a few hours later.

Of course it’s weird, it’s a deep-sea fish.

It is interesting that this “dinasour” in the fossel record believed by naive people to have been fossilized 50,000,000 years ago, and now it is the same creature found alive today. Why didn’t it evolve into something else? Because macro evolution is a lie.

Actually, that is factually incorrect. Living fossils principally exist because they had no reason to evolve. Fitness being a relative concept, organisms that do not require evolution (i.e., Platyrrhines), will still exist, for they can adequately exploit a given niche. Please consult relevant Macroevolutionary peer-reviewed scientific journals before spewing nonsense to your colleagues.

I think this is awesome, it gives you so many things to imagine. If this thing lives that deep, try to picture what else is living down there.

People’s minds are so naive today they don’t realize what they are looking at and if they’ve never heard it, it is supposofly fake. The “creature” is a deep sea shark found in depths of ocean 600m to 1000m. It is called the Frilled shark (common name). They usually rise to closer depths when the water gets colder for there bodys were not made to take warm waters. Being that this one was sickly it is understandable that it rose for maybe it wasn’t able to stay where it needed to. It is refered to as a living dinosaur because fossils have been found dating at least 50 million years ago. David above said tht it looks more like the eel family..true. the frilled shark in some cases has been to believed closer related to an eel than a shark. Being that it has gills it belongs to the shark family. Look up your guys’ info before you turn stuff down.
