WALES: 300 lb mako shark found on the beach


Biologist experts have been left baffled after a deadly 10 feet shark was found washed up on a beach in North Wales, United kingdom, thousands of miles from its natural habitat.

The 300 pound -145 kg dead Mako shark, which was found with significant wound marks down its flank, was discovered by fishermen on Barmouth Beach in Gwynedd,

Mako shark is extremely rare in UK waters, only 65 were ever caught here.

An autopsy undertaken on the shark has since revealed a recently ingested harbour porpoise in its stomach but why the fish died remains a mystery.
