Frilled Shark



This deep-sea predators, one of the most primitive shark alive today, is a relic of the Cretaceous period, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Seldom seen alive, and only recently filmed for the first time, the frilled shark can grow up to 2 meters (6 '6 ") (with females being larger than males) and They Live in deep waters, where Mostly They feed on squid. Rarely seen alive, and only recently filmed for the first time, frilled sharks can grow up to 2 meters (6 '6 ") (with women more than men) and they live in deep water, where they eat mostly on squid. They are not dangerous to Humans, and as a matter of fact, most frilled sharks Spend Their whole lives without seeing a human being. They are not harmful to humans, and as a matter of fact, most spend the entire frilled shark their lives without seeing a human. Only dead or dying specimens are usually seen and recorded by Fishermen or Scientists. Only dead or dying specimens usually seen and recorded by fishermen or scientists.

Sturgeon Fish



Another survivor from the age of dinosaurs (they are already in the early Jurassic), sturgeon are known as one major source of caviar (made from their eggs or egg masses); because of overfishing, this majestic, armored fish that sadly threatened when this. The largest species of sturgeon can grow up to 6 meters (19 '7 ") long, being as large as most great white sharks; They feed on small animals from the sea bottom and pose no danger to Humans, Unless Provoked (although They are so They have big That hurt, and even killed, people unintentionally by leaping out of the water and landing on boats!) Species largest sturgeon can grow up to 6 meters (19 '7 ") long, which is as big as most great white sharks; they eat small animals from the seabed and cause harm to humans, unless provoked (though they are so large that they have been hurt, and even killed, someone accidentally by leaping out of the water and landed on the ship!)

Sawfish



This can be found both in saltwater or in rivers and creeks and length Up to 7 meters (23 '). The Prehistoric Sawfish were the resource persons Probably a staple food for the largest Carnivorous dinosaur, Spinosaurus, as a vertebra from the fish was found stuck the between the dinosaur's teeth. The sawfish is probably prehistoric staple food for the largest carnivorous dinosaur, Spinosaurus, as the spine of the fish was found wedged between the teeth of dinosaurs.

Lancetfish



It looks very similar to the Dino Family and even have a voice dinosaurian scientific name for it (Alepisaurus ferox).

Coelacanth



Coelacanth was first discovered in 1938 by Marjorie Courtenay Latimer, the curator of a small museum in the port city of East London, because he visited a fisherman who will let his search through his ship to capture an interesting specimen. Ironically, Marjorie was only visiting the sea captain to wish him a happy Christmas Pls She first spotted the coelacanth's oddly shaped, blue-gray fin protruding from Beneath a mountain of fish. Ironically, Marjorie just visiting sea captain to congratulate the happy Christmas when she first saw the coelacanth was an oddly shaped, blue-gray fins protruding from under a mountain of fish. Marjorie Brought back the specimen to the museum where She compared it against images of known species, and ultimately realized what Had She was no ordinary fish. Marjorie specimens brought back to the museum where he compared it to pictures of known species, and finally realized what he had no ordinary fish.

After sending a rough drawing of the fish to Professor JLB Smith, at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, Who in turn confirmed the creature That She Had discovered on the boat's deck was indeed a Prehistoric fish, a coelacanth to be exact.
