Cold Strands Third Shark on Cape Cod

(Boston Globe) The extreme cold appears to have claimed a third shark on Cape Cod, authorities said.

A thresher shark was spotted Thursday washed up in Brewster, two days after two other sharks were found frozen to death on beaches in Orleans and Wellfleet.

The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy and NOAA Fisheries Service hauled away the 14-foot male shark, and are waiting for the carcass to thaw before conducting a necropsy, an official said.

“It was a sharksicle,” Michelle Wcisel the conservancy’s program director, said on Saturday.

That’s chilly enough to immobilize green iguanas common in Miami’s suburbs.

Palm Beach Post columnist Frank Cerabino tweeted a photograph of an iguana lying belly-up next to his swimming pool...

Frozen my ass. Those sharks died from hunger unable to find any vanishing seal, polar bear or Inuit. There were some idiots out surfing, but then again, where does a shark go to get the right wine for surf and turf at the last moment?
