20-Foot Long Shark found by the shores of Gilgo Park beach

A 20-foot long bashing shark astonished a crowd of 40 beach goers as it circled around the waves of the Gilgo State Park beach in Long Island until finally landing lifeless and washed up on its shores.

Marine experts said that the shark did not have any injuries present and that the cause of death might be due to some illness. However, surfers who witnessed the whole incident speculated that the shark may have collided with a boat and that it looked as if it was bleeding from the inside. These surfers further implied that the shark looked harmless and distressed before it died.

Marine biologists would be investigating further on the shark’s death before cutting it into pieces and burrying it.

Several onlookers spent most of the day taking pictures beside what was left of the gigantic shark.

    Poor shark, they better burying it as soon as possible rather than make it public photo object.
