Two thresher sharks were found washed up along Massachusetts’s Cape Cod Bay after being ‘stranded due to cold shock’ amid plunging temperatures in the northern United States this week.
A passerby walking along the bay early Wednesday came across a shocking sight and snapped some photos.
James Mullin initially saw one lifeless shark and immediately contacted the Center of Coastal Studies in Provincetown, according to the Cape Cod Times, who spoke with Mullin, who described the finding as ‘exciting’.
Officials at the center went to investigate the incident after, when they found another dead shark nearby. Both of them were male.
The conservancy group said on Facebook the sharks were dissected and are now being further examined through organ and tissue samples.
