Half-blind, alcoholic, slow-fast ground shark

[whiteunicorn4]

I saw an episode of Dirty Jobs on Discovery Channel...this thing is fuckin' awesome.

Sominus microcephalus, also known as: the Greenland shark, sleeper shark, gurry shark, grey shark, or Eqalussuaq (Inuit).

They live farther north than any other shark, in the depths of the freezing ocean.  They're incredibly sluggish and mostly blind.

I had the same thought.

Pretty cool shark, though.

Freaky looking shark, it's eyes scare me. o.0 Cool though!

[sharks_teeth]

lol what losers :D

It's surprising that they're so big! I thought they would be Port Jackson size from the first pic.

I've heard about the specially processed, aka rotted I think, shark meat that is a delicasy. I love the way humans are so creative...

[lianetherider]

Yes, I just saw an episode of Bizarre Foods where he tried the meat... they let it rot, chop it up, and hang it under a shed roof (open air) for like three months, then eat it. Ugh.

[saracura]

That must have been where I saw it too.

I love that show!

Slow moving? Half blind? Toxic Flesh? Yet they still somehow manage to devour their prey?

This all points to one thing, people:

ZOMBIE SHARKS!!!!!

I'm in favor of it.

[kandi_panties]

Zombiepocalypse! It has begun.

[trblebreathing]

Nice!

At least now we can finally close the case of what happened to the shark from the Zombie vs. Shark fight in Zombi 2.
