Still Waters Posted November 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2017 A frilled shark, a species that is often termed a ‘living fossil’ because of several ‘primitive’ features that have survived for millions of years, has been captured off the coast of Portugal’s Algarve region, the country’s meteorological and sea institute has announced. http://www.theportugalnews.com/news/rarely-seen-living-fossil-frilled-shark-caught-off-algarve-coast/43833 https://uk.news.yahoo.com/prehistoric-dinosaur-era-shark-insane-130946712.html 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanda Evans Posted November 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2017 What a fearsome looking creature. Probably the source of Sea Serpent myths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHaYap Posted November 13, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Yup, just ask Megalodon , and maybe soon enough ... the Great WHites, the Tigers ... or most other highly evolved sharks for that matter ... ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khol Posted November 13, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Fished at 700metres holy crap! 2300feet I'll go 200' trolling for salmon and think Im waaaay down there. What an interesting animal and a real survivor. Its sad tho it has to be killed for research. I suppose at these depths techniques for study are limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolution is about adaptation, not evolution per se, if the species hasnt changed in 80M years is because its anatomy is well adjusted to its environment, even if that environment has changed, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
