A group of
fishermen got quite a shock when they pulled a terrifying prehistoric
shark from the water near Lakes Entrance in Victoria's east.
The
dark brown, eel-like looking creature is a frilled shark, also known as
the 'living fossil', and was named for its six pairs of frill-like
gills along with its dorsal fins, similar to the predatory fish.
The shark's origin dates back 80 million years and is only one of two species still alive from this period.
South
East Trawl Fishing Association (SETFA) chief executive Simon Boag told
the ABC the men who found the shark were puzzled by their find.
'It has 300 teeth over 25 rows, so once you're in that mouth, you're not coming out,' he said.
