A frill shark swims in a tank after being found by a fisherman at a bay in Numazu, Japan, in January 2007. The frill shark, also known as the frilled shark, usually lives in waters of a depth of nearly 2,000 feet, so it is very rare that this shark is found alive at sea-level. Its body shape and the number of gills are similar to fossils of sharks that lived 350,000,000 years ago.
