The scientists were working on a EU-led mission to find ways to reduce the number of accidental catches by commercial fishing when they came across a frilled shark (Chlamydoselachus anguineus). Not only is this particular breed of shark an incredibly rare find (these are deepwater fish, usually living in depths between 500 and 1,000 meters), it is also one of the most archaic species on the planet. Archaeologists have found fossils of this serpent-like shark dating back 80 million years to the Cretaceous period, meaning they co-existed with the Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops. The researchers called their catch a "living fossil" as the frilled shark has barely changed since prehistoric times. This particular specimen was caught off the Algarve coast, close to the Portimao resort. Frilled sharks can reach lengths of almost 2 meters (6.5 feet), though males tend to be smaller than females.

Car Pictures @ CarPictures.com Best Animal and Wildlife Pictures of 2017 No one ever said it's easy to photograph in the wild. On the savannah or under the ocean, nature often gives strikingly little time to make a good frame. And once the moment is gone, it's gone.
