oh crap, it's jaws. this is why i don't like to swim in the ocean, we got no idea what is really down there. probably highly evolved brine shrimp that live in sand castles at the bottom of the ocean.

I second that. Something doesn't seem right with that "cage".
To me, it looks like a prank made specifically to get something sensational on Japanese TV.

In my opinion, that's nothing but a Pacific Sleeper Shark.

They're very large animals, and Megalodon is definitely extinct.

THe 1st sharks appeared in the early Devonian period. All modern sharks existed in the tertiary period. As an avid diver and someone who has dove with many different kinds of sharks, I can safely tell you I have never seen a shark that doesn't have at least 5 and no more than 7 gill slits.

NOw on to the video. It's not a Megla. They looked almost identical to great whites only larger in scale. That looks nothing like a great white. If they are indeed at the depth they claim that isn't a diving cage. It could be a protective cage for the camera. At the depth they claim to be at light penetration is a problem. So everything is going to be fairly close to the camera. Giving it the appearance that it's larger than it really is. Now if its a protective cage for the camera rigs then it's probably only a few feet across.

I am 99% certain it's a Pacific Sleeper Shark. The location is right. The depth is right, they live up to 2000 Meters deep. Large ones can get up to 15 feet but it's generally accepted that a very old one could hit 23-24 feet. The manner it's feeding is consistent with a pacific sleeper.

is this for reals? because i hope it is!!!....we have only explored like 1 % of the ocean havent w?

What ever it is that's insanely big!!! that's the reason i don't swim in the sea!!!!

As a previous post mentioned, it looks just like a basking shark. (That is what it looked like to me)

It's not that big, you can see the common shark parasite, it's just zoomed in with a small cage

Hi,
I don't know much about sharks but there's a sucker fish thing on this sharks gill... how big are they known to get?

And that is the problem. Even if an alien took pictures of its own UFO and posted them on the net they would be called fake and a hoax.
