Think it musta died of old age.

i was reading about it last night in the smh. i don't see any mystery that it died, being used to the pressure at 600m below and then finding itself at sea level. (just a guess anyway)

I don't think they always hang out in the depths. See these photos.

Scary mofos.

wiki says this about them too

'Reproduction is not well understood, but like many other sharks they bear live young (ovoviviparous), with litter sizes of 2 to 12 pups. Compagno states "They are pregnant for a long time, probably one to two years". This would give the frilled shark the possibility of having the longest gestation of any vertebrate, even exceeding the elephant's period of 22 months.'

You guys realise this is the sort of thing that makes us trot out the "only in America" line, don't you?

Care to try some horizontal bungee jumping?

(No, that's not meant as a euphemism for sex).
