Dead frozen shark found on Cape Cod beach during intense cold weather

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Dead frozen shark found on Cape Cod beach during intense cold weather.

While the cold may seem like the most likely culprit behind the shark’s demise, an injury to its right side may indicate a different cause.

The shark is believed to be a male porbeagle, according to a tweet by John Chisholm, marine biologist and adjunct scientist at the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life.

John Chisholm, an adjunct scientist at the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life at the New England Aquarium, wrote in a tweet he believes the male shark may be the same one that washed up on the beach previously “and has been moving around with the big tides.”

Chisholm went to find the shark so he could gather measurements to compare the two, but “unfortunately, someone took the tail, dorsal fin, pectoral fin, and what was left of the teeth,” he wrote in another tweet posted Monday.

Nonetheless, the image of the icy shark was yet another sign of just how frigid New England was between last Friday and Saturday.

As the the region experienced sub-zero temperatures across the board, wind chill recorded above Mount Washington in New Hampshire set a new national record at -108 degrees.

Ice covered parts of the carcass as well as the majority of the beach as temperatures dipped below freezing in the area, according to the National Weather Service.

Shark sightings across Cape Cod waters spiked over the summer as people flocked to the beaches of the popular vacation spot. Beaches across the East Coast were shut down due to the sightings and even some minor attacks.

Amie Medeiros, a local photographer, captured photos of the deceased Porbeagle shark covered in ice at Cold Storage Beach in Dennis on Saturday.

Medeiros uploaded the images to her Instagram account (@capeimagesbyamie), where they quickly became popular among her over 4,300 followers.
