'The rare frilled shark is considered a “living fossil,” as its makeup has remained unchanged for 80 million years. '
'Pretty much all other sharks have separate gills, but the frilled shark’s first pair of gills stretch all the way across its throat. '
'The shark was discovered off the Algarve coast by researchers who were working on a European Union project in the area, the BBC reported. '
'While its name may sound unfitting for a beast that swims the deep seas, according to Mental Floss, the frilled shark is named after its gills. '
