prehistoric eel shark found

because it's dead, genius.

Ya it died while it was being transported from the ocean GENIOUS! Like I said, we should of left her alone and let nature decide her fate. Maybe she was dying, maybe she wasn't.

She was, Krishna. I'm an animal lover as much as the next person, but that thing was a goner.

Because their swim bladders fail them when they are dying and cause them to surface. They can no longer regulate their depth. They wouldn't just come up to the top. Their bodies are geared to the deep sea. The change in pressure alone would be very bad, if not fatal.

I thought you were a lawyer, not a marine biologist Anyhoo, seems like a reasonable answer, but by no means conclusive. There is much about nature we don't understand or know, even though we pretend to, especially about deep sea creatures.

Agreed. We are on the same page in heart and spirit about this. No need to sweat the details.

Ya, but only because it was inevitable that we'd take her out of the ocean to examine her. Other than that, there is no proof that she would of died. We should of followed her until she died and then took her from the ocean. Then it would of been ok with me.

should HAVE.
and yes, it was already dying, that's why it was hundreds of feet above the level it's supposed to be.

Hmm... possible new sushimi dish?

Amazing! I love stuff like this! It really baffles the mind to think of all the species of creatures we have not yet discovered.
Didn't like seeing it dead....but you know me

So if I go hundreds of feet above the level I'm supposed to be, does that mean I'm dying everytime I get in an airplane? Again, no proof, and your logic is flawed.

Your logic is flawed, Krishna. You are in a pressurized cabin, or yes you would die. Likewise with the shark.
