Poole Bay Monster? Small toothed sandtiger

[Rob]

Seen on Facebook , washed up at Lepe.

 

There is a video of it the day before it washed up, of it struggling in the shallows.

 

Interesting times!!

I wonder if it's full of plastic ?

Well if that's a small toothed Sand tiger I don't want to meet a Large toothed one whilst out for a dip.

So sad.

 

Apparently heard on the news this morning that Trophy hunters have taken the shark away prior to the fish being able to be inspected to find out the cause of death!!

Hacked the head off only

I'm surprised certain folks didn't hack off the fins.

Apparently they took the tail as well. Massive appeal on local TV to return the head for examination and a promise to return it afterwards.
