SKIRMISHER

A rare deep-sea shark was recently caught by Japanese marine rangers at The Awashima Marine Park in Shizuoka, Japan. It was later filmed by local scientists. It was a lucky shoot since the said species of this eel-like shark (frilled shark) are rarely seen alive.

Scientists say they videotaped this rare frilled shark shortly before it died. The shark normally lives about 2,000 feet below the surface.

Here in the Philippines, exotic sharks are plentiful. They come in different shapes and sizes. They normally have bulging bellies, and are bright blue in color. They emit a queer sound like that of a traffic whistle. Filmographers can never shoot these Philippine sharks because the latter will gladly do the “shooting” themselves.

And these Philippine sharks are always caught on film — not by scientists but by shrewd investigative journalists.

Strangely enough, these odd creatures happen to wear badges.
