I wonder what sort of biological design has to be present in such a creature to cope with the pressures experienced at a depth of 2000 foot below sea level. Wow!
Neat video, thanks for posting!

I'd guess that is because it is naturally blind...

I think it would just have to be devoid of all air to be able to handle those pressures

Yes, most deep sea creature's bodies are composed of mainly water. They also can see, but very limited. There is lots of bioluminescent light to keep track of. As an added bonus for the Frilled Shark, it's a Condricthyes. That means its skeleton is made out of cartilage (with the exception of the jaws and teeth).

That shark made the national news last night (01-24-07) on CBS.

Don't all sharks have cartilaginous skeletons?

Actually depending on species depends on the level of ossification of the skeleton. Most are quite cartilagenous.
