Experts are puzzled how the shark, normally found near equator, could have reached UK. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/mar/02/crocodile-shark-washes-up-on-devon-beach?CMP=twt_gu |

Oh how sad Dave I wonder if it did follow warm waters and then succumb as soon as it came across the colder waters around the UK ... or what i'm inclined to believe is that it was caught in a net and then discarded It's a shame the body was lost before it could be examined

It looked in quite good condition considering the journey it was likely to have taken (dead or alive). |

A great shame and even more so that it was lost out to sea, would have been invaluable as a research specimen. |
