It measures 1.5 metres long, and has a long snake-like body
It is called a frilled shark, because it has a circle of 300 teeth that resemble a frilled collar
Scientists working on a project off the Algarve coast were in for a surprise when they caught a prehistoric shark this week.
The bizarre creature, known as a frilled shark, dates back around 80 million years, making it one of the oldest species still around today.
Little is known about the shark, which has a long, snake-like body, and circular arrangement of 300 teeth.

The shark has a long snake-like body, although it is 'little known in terms of its biology or environment.' This is mostly due to the fact that it lives at depths that are rarely ventured to by humans
Frilled sharks are members of some of the most ancient groups of sharks that are known for having extra gills, big mouths, eyes on the side of their heads and spineless back fins.
This isn't the first time that a frilled shark has been caught.
Last December, a fisherman called Roman Fedortsov uploaded a picture to Twitter of a frilled shark he caught in Russia.
