How come sharks have been around for a long time?
They are apex predators. The shark is so remarkably designed that it has changed little since the time of the dinosaurs. The speed, teeth, and acute senses make the shark almost without natural competitors in the wild, except for humans. They have been around so long because they are perfectly designed to live for a long time.
Is there a shak called a frilled shark?
In 2007, a fisherman near Tokyo, Japan, told Awashiwa Marine Park officials that he'd just seen a very unusual eel-like creature with needle-sharp teeth. Staff at the park followed the fisherman, who directed them to the 5-foot-long oddity. They caught the creature, which was later identified as a frilled shark. The frilled shark has been called everything from a "sea serpent" to a real-life "Loch Ness Monster" over the years in places where it lives, such as southeast Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, West Africa, Chileand the Caribbean. A more accurate nickname is "the living fossil," since this shark belongs to a primitive species that has changed very little over millions of years.
