    It's a Basking Shark though. Not one of the many species that eat people.

    Bunnies kill more people than sharks.

    It's true. Here's a picture of an assault in progress. I'm not going to post it here because of harrowing nature of the photo but I'll post a direct link to it for anyone with a strong enough stomach:

    I want to emphasize again though - THIS IS AN EXTREMELY GRAPHIC PICTURE. View at your own risk.

    The title of this thread is : "26 foot shark washed up in L.I."

    And yet the news clip on the video says : "A 15-foot basking shark washed ashore..."

    That's a heck of a typo.

    If you listen to the entire clip, after the long pause it cuts to a news story and it says 26 foot shark.

    It looks like it's bigger than 15 feet to me so I'm going with 26 feet.

    I doubt a 15 foot shark would make the news unless it had a person sticking out of it's mouth as they so often do.
