Here is a Canadian site of the GEERG greenland sharkand elasmobranch education and research group.
http://www.geerg.ca
This site is also in French ^^.
In this webpage http://www.geerg.ca/gshark1.htm you can see stuf about somniosus microcephalus and also a video from the web featuring Humboldt squid, small deepwater sharks (possibly lantern or kitefin), a chimaera and a very large Pacific sleeper shark (Somniosus pacificus maybe). complete video on
of course, depending on the angle of vision size perception is not the same. I'm not sure that the shark and the box are the same at the beginning of the video and at the end.
Maybe this video was already somewhere on tonmo. but the most interesting is geerg itself.
Notice that Somniosus microcephalus,Somniosus pacificus and s. antarcticus are very strange sharks with potential big longevity ( hypothesis for a 7 meters microcephalus coudl be 200 years ... wow ! at the opposite of the ceph's short life )
Pacificus seems to be one of the predators of colossal squids (but with spermwhales, this is the only one big enough to attack adults).
There are some evidences on presence of Kondakovia, Taningia, Architeuthis and Mesonychoteuthis in the stomachs of sleeper sharks ...
http://cameronmccormick.blogspot.com/2007/03/other-gigantic-squids.html site is speeking about this fact too.
Here is a bbc article (2004) about french research on sleeper shark stomach contents. : http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3370019.stm
he mission of GEERG is to study the Greenland shark and other Canadian shark species in their natural environment.
