Sink your teeth into this.
A little-known frilled shark has been found off the Algarve coast in Portugal by scientists,walter pater eroticism who were conducting research on minimising unwanted catches in European fisheries.

Researchers from Portugal's national meteorological, seismic, sea and atmospheric organisation, IPMA, said it was a "true living fossil," because its remains had been unchanged for 80 million years, according to BBC News' translation of a Sic Noticiasreport.

However, the shark gets its name from the frilled appearance of its gills. Its 300 teeth "allows it to trap squid, fish and other sharks in sudden lunges," Professor Margarida Castro of the University of the Algarve told Sic Noticias.
It has a "wide but very patchy" distribution across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, according to the IUCN, and is on rare occasion caught as bycatch. A freaky catch in this case, to say the least.
Correction:An earlier version of this article stated the name of the frilled shark was derived from its teeth, when in fact it is from its gills.
