Rare “Prehistoric” Shark Photographed Alive
Frilled sharks are rarely seen fish that usually live thousands of feet beneath the sea and date back to prehistoric times. This so-called “living fossil” was captured after it swam close to the surface in Japan and died in captivity just hours later. LINK

Shark found in Lake Michigan
Rich Fasi was boating in West Grand Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan near Traverse City, Michigan on Wednesday. He saw some tangled fishing equipment floating by and started pulling it from the water:
“I could see a fish down there about three feet down, but the last thing I expected was a shark on the end,” Fasi said.
There aren’t any witnesses, but Fasi, of Traverse City, said he pulled the roughly 2-foot shark from the bay about 100 yards west of Clinch Park Marina at about 5 p.m. He found the shark in about 25 feet of water, he said. It was dead, but wasn’t frozen.
“I could wiggle its tail, pry open its mouth, look at its teeth,” he said. “It didn’t look like it had any decomposition.”
Fasi threw the fish in his freezer and called the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
It appears that Fasi’s catch was a blacktip shark. More on the story when you go to this link.
