The goblin shark (Mitsukurina owstoni) has been described as a "living fossil" because it's the only extant species of the family Misukurinidae, a 125-million-year-old line of ancient sharks. It lives far below the ocean's surface and had been seen alive only rarely, when one would get hooked on a fishing line and hauled to the surface. But now, for the first time, scientists have captured deep-sea footage of the elusive goblin shark, extending its known range far into the Central Pacific and down to nearly 6,560 feet below the water's surface. "I never thought we'd see one alive," noted one researcher.
