Shark Found on NYC Subway

New York City’s transit authority says a conductor found a small dead shark aboard a subway train in Queens on Wednesday.

The conductor asked passengers to leave the car and closed it off. The train continued to the end of the line, and then a supervisor placed the shark in a garbage bag and put it in the trash.

In photos captured by bystanders the shark appears to be about 4 feet long, has a cigarette in its mouth with a fare card and Red Bull can nearby.

Transit officials say they were aware of the photos but are making no effort to find the person who posted them. The transit authority says it has “better things to do.”

    The shark was in the subway looking for rats to eat. He found plenty, but they were diseased so he got sick and croaked. I think he was in the pawn shop/quickie money lending business. There are lots of them native to Brooklyn.
