Intoxicated doesn't always mean inhebriated, it just means that that the shark was poisoned.Quote:

consider that literally when you drink you're poisoning yourself and you can die if you injest enough.
So as interesting a thought it is to think a shark would be partyin' it up on the sea floor; I have my serious doubts.
I feel sorry for the thing. He/she must be pretty lonely. :(
Anyway, I love this kind of news. They're pretty exciting. Like when they found Mammoth from the ice in Siberia etc.
Oh my god. If you guys watch the video, that thing is freaking odd looking. I'm fascinated.
Prehistoric sharks get wasted all the time.
It that the eel-shark thang?
No it's the shark-shark thing. God what is wrong with the English? Do you not know how to spell properly or what?
Silly Bunny. Thang is far sexier, so needed to be used when talking about shark-eels.
So what's this story I've heard about a shark-eel thang? It was just a really long shark basically, but have an eely face with shark teeth. I thought it was mighty fine.
It's possible this shark-shark thing evolved from an eel but allow me to educate your puny little brain.
Eel
1. any of numerous elongated, snakelike marine or freshwater fishes
2. lack pelvic fins
3. Birthing means: lays eggs
Shark
1. Any of numerous chiefly marine carnivorous fishes of the class Chondrichthyes (subclass Elasmobranchii), which are sometimes large and voracious and have a streamlined torpedolike body, five to seven gill openings on each side of the head, a large oil-filled liver, a cartilaginous skeleton, and tough skin covered with small toothlike scales.
2. heterocercal caudal fins
3. Birthing means: Interuterine, umbilical, live birth.
Thus the shark can not be an eel, it can only be a shark.
You may compare this similarity to the difference between some snakes and other reptiles. There are lizards that look snake like but becaue of key anatomical differences they are not snakes.
