Blue Shark Found Rotting in New Hampshire Woods

Depending on what part of the country you are in, a walk through the woods may involve seeing deer, birds, squirrels even bears.  But sharks?  Not so much.

CBS News is reporting that a 6-8 foot blue shark was found rotting in the woods of a New Hampshire town.Authorities are not exactly sure how the shark came to the wooded area, but there is speculation.  The man that found the shark thinks that it was caught by a fisherman who did not have the proper license(s) for ocean fishing.

That could be, but why wouldn't he just throw it back in the water?  The nearest body of water that the shark may have come from is the Atlantic Ocean, which is about 45 miles from where the shark was found.

As for the shark, officials left it as it was.
