Shark swims and lands on beach in New Jersey

I guess you could say it's a 'basking' shark!

I guess it jumped the shark...

It don't gots no thumbs.

We're gonna need a bigger bowtie for when the shark inevitably tries to attend a formal function at a nearby hotel.

Good job it didn't tilt over on to it's gills, it would have ended up with sand in it's crack!

Sharks scare me

That's not even a proper shark. It's tiny.

Its face as it comes on to the beach. Like, "WTF AM I DOING HERE?"

Life's a beach for that shark.

You can see a rod in part of the video. To me it looks like they were sea fishing and landed the shark, before cutting the line when they saw the strawberry floater up close.

Yeah, I see where you're coming from. The cameraman needs to work on his ability to keep a strawberry floating six foot shark in view of the lens as well.

Could there be something to do with evolution in this? Fish venturing out of the sea and such. Could be the next step for that type of shark.

Am I the only one wondering where the strawberry float it bought the new jersey from?

Well, that's it then.

Nah, it was wearing a reverse aqualung.

Really though, you're not being serious, are you?

Mammals came out from the sea, in fact all life did. Perhaps this shark is just showing a bit of the behaviour that eventually led to all sea-life moving from the water to the land? It's a perfectly point to make.

Evolution doesn't work that way, Scott.

How? All animals at some point show behaviourl changes over thousands of years. What's to say that this fish isn't confusing its instincts here?

Got any facts to back that up?
