Sad day for sharks: 2 Pregnant sharks killed from destructive fishing (49 sharks killed total)
I am sad to report that within the last 24 hours, 2 pregnant sharks were killed. The first shark that washed up on shore, was in the Florida Keys yesterday. It was a 9 ft pregnant bull shark with 12 dead pups that were ready to be born. The second shark washed up this […]
The Best Shark Trip Ever!
The Best shark Trip Ever! 4/18/2010 Well, where do I start, how about the beginning of the day which did not look very promising.
