JAPAN: Rare prehistoric frilled shark caught on camera

It's five feet long, has razor-sharp teeth and looks like a creature from prehistoric times. The frilled shark - a species that is rarely seen alive by human eyes because it lives two thousand feet under the sea - has been caught on camera at a Japanese marine park after fishermen spotted it at a nearby port. The shark is sometimes referred to as a living fossil because it's been around since the days of the dinosaurs.
