LOAD WARNING! Rare Shark clip swiming through water.

I remember that shark from not too long ago. The thing looked in horrible condition. And then it died. They also just found a new rarely seen shark and that one died too. They were both deep water sharks. I'm starting to wonder if these people are actually capturing these sharks just to put on a quick display and not even care about it's life. After all...publicity goes a long way when there's money to be made.
I believe this as well....why would this shark be by the surface of the ocean, swimming with divers.......People get the bends when they suface too quickly and also...people cant survive the pressure of the deep sea. I think scientists just wanted a glimpse and didnt care about the animal that they never seen in person. Sad story....!
Ya never know. It could have come into the shallows because it was dieing or possibly it was caught by deep sea fishermen and was killed by the aquarium. Who knows. The japanese are generally pathetic with anything alive so quite possibly killed it.
i agree perhaps it was dieing already and came into shallowThe first shark "caught" by the Japanese was a Frill Shark, the one you see in the video. The second shark they "caught" was a Goblin shark. Both species live deep down in the ocean and are usually never seen alive. So even though its cruel, its good for us to be able to get some information on these species or else we would never know how to save them if they need to be saved from going extinct ect.
i saw that video a while ago, and even then i thought that it didn't look to good, and it probably was already at the surface when they found it, because who just decides to go looking for a rare deep sea shark one day. but i still wish they could have kept it alive. oh ya, the video that i saw said that it ate other sharks, so it must have been sick if it just let the divers swim around it taking pictures, its like it didn't even notice them.
completely agree with brendon. a thought no one considered... they might just have got lost. happens with animals all the time, sometimes they find their way back, or sometimes they die. We absolutely know NOTHING about them, so we wouldn't know what it was doing in shallow water. We dont know what is going on in the deep. Unless something is happening down there like temp change which are making them under threat of species, i doubt one shark is going to make a difference to the population. How do you think we know stuff about natural history today. Explorers went around and killed a male and female of everything in the discovery times, and even now they are. You think darwin felt bad when he was going around the galapogos taking specimens of galapogos birds and bugs and what not. no. It's a unique opportunity to learn something we know nothing about.
