Prehistoric Shark Follow-Up

After only three weeks of discovering the deep water, prehistoric, frill shark in Japan; another creature from the deep, the goblin shark, turned up off the coast of Japan. The researchers needed to get their hands on this guy too, and wouldn’t you know he died in his new, unfamiliar home after only a few days! It is explained in the video that the goblin shark may have died due to such a drastic change in water pressure when it was “pulled up” from around 1200 meters to only 160 meters; and/ or due to the stress of an alien environment in the marine park. Perhaps if another shark or creature from the deep decides to show it’s self in shallower waters, researchers will not take it from its home but find some other way to gather information without aiding in its death.
