Shark Attack

From the deep dark depths of our expansive wild blue ocean rare and exotic, prehistoric creatures have begun making their way to the surface. The question we must ask ourselves now is: friend or foe?

Within the past 30 days on two seperate occasions two different types of shark which typically live at roughly 3,000 feet below the surface made there way up and died only hours after they're sightings.

-January 21, 2007 a Frilled Shark was spotted by fisherman in Japan. Frilled shark have been seen before, but dead and no bigger than a foot or two. This guy was alive, although sick, and was 5 feet long. Scientists believe the shark was sick and that is why it left it's usual depth for the surface. Four days later, January 25th, a Goblin shark was found, also in Japan. The Goblin Shark, like the Frilled Shark, was taken to marine park to be studied but died hours later.

Is this all part of a plan that all the deep sea fish have? Were these two simply scouts sent to observe us? Are there really deep sea merpeople riding fish like horses cursing us for being able to wear sunglasses, when they themselves obviously have no need for them? Yes.



side note: the goblin shark can be easily studied in Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania for your PC.
