Things you won’t find in the petting pool: Freaky, prehistoric goblin shark (video)

Further proof that if intelligent design is true, God is a mad scientist. Check out this video of a goblin shark in action. At first it just looks like a smallish, rather harmless shark with a big nose, until an entire second set of jaws protrudes and begins to eat your arm. Now I know what inspired the monster in Aliens.

And yet more nightmare fuel: the dragon shark.

Of course where is Aquaman while we’re being menaced by these creatures? Off screwing around, as usual.
