Rare frilled shark with 300 teeth caught

WASHINGTON — A fisherman caught a rare, 300-toothed, frilled shark off the coast of Australia, and it’s like nothing anyone has ever seen.

The 6-foot shark resembles an eel, but has a shark-like tail and a sea-monster-like face.

The fisherman reportedly sold it for an absurd amount of money.
