Snaggletooth Sharks (Hemipristis Elongata) are not extinct, they are vulnerable and are the last surviving member of the Hemipristis genus. They are found in tropical waters of Indo-West Pacific, including the Red Sea, from southeast Africa to the Philippines, north to China, and south to Australia.
@joey12127 . We thought they were extinct....but we did not post this video before being sure of wich kind of shark it was. We sent pictures and the video to the biggest specialists about sharks to be sure of us and they all confirmed it was Hemipristis Elongatus. I've been vey lucky that day and I will never forget this magical encounter...
I am very interested in this Genus of sharks and have a collection of fossil teeth that represents their family tree. I found your video fascinating and I have watched it many times but always enjoy seeing it these images really capture the sleek wild beauty of these creatures. I can't thank you enough for sharing this rare encounter with the public. You should note that recently the most complete associated dentition complete with brain case and 80 vertebrae was unearthed in Maryland of the ancient fossil shark and ancestor Hemipristis Serra
Same here, almost nothing like digging up/ finding a 1"+ Hemi or Meg. Truely lost wonders and we're very fortunate to have a lone surviving Hemipristis sp. Hopefully more research and/or protection will be done (heard they are "least concern" around Australia & Vulnerable elsewhere)
@joey12127 Hemipristis serra is extinct ,this is hemipristis elongatus. They are very rare, and this is the only video ever taken of one in it's own habitat.
Hemipristis was first known to science from its fossil teeth. Thanks for posting this great video.
It’s so good to see that there ARE other people who like sharks 🦈
Great video, yall are very lucky! Seems like the shark came over to investigate yall but didn't find you all that interesting and took off :P

Crazy,it’s like if you were teleported back in time to see the prehistoric version but smaller
You guys were extremely lucky to see that shark, snaggletooth sharks are extremely rare and almost never seen by divers or anybody at all
Saw an small article in a dutch divemagazine of this short movie on youtube, so i had to check it out on youtube. FANTASTIC!!!
Wow, just wow!

Amazing, but he wasn't at -100 isn't it?
Correct. If I remember well I was +/_ at 25/30 m when he came to me. Amazing moments I miss so much....
