Hammerhead shark stuns fisherman by giving birth to a litter of pups as it is hauled onto packed Florida beach | Mail Online

I couldn't even watch the whole video :depressed:

The article said a fisherman dragged it in, did he hook it originally? I couldn't watch the whole thing myself too.

The third photo from the bottom shows claspers on the shark... that means boy shark.

Oh ok, but then where did all the little sharks come from?

 

[fishb0y]

They are remoras. Also, if you look at them you will notice they don't have the hammer shaped head.

The shark biologists were totally exasperated when this article came out. It was like total idiots wrote it.

It was in the Mail Online.

I wouldn't go so low as to insult idiots by comparing them to Mail Online keyboard monkeys.

I understand that fishermen often catch sharks. What I don't understand is their need to drag it to shore. The reporter didn't do his homework on this one. Makes me wonder if the fisherman also thought they were baby sharks and reported that. Dumb, dumb and dumber.

Ditto...Another pathetic example of ignorance and callous indifference to other forms of life.....When are we going to learn ?????!!!!!!!!!

Well I do feel like a bit of an idiot, I still don't like a crowd gathering to take a pic of a shark thrashing around, but I did learn something new.

Thanks fishb0y
