An 11-foot female hammerhead shark found ashore at Pompano Beach, Florida.
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – An 11-foot female hammerhead shark was found on a Florida beach.
Beach residents said the shark was close to the shoreline early in the morning, but was moved out of the water with a Bobcat so it wouldn’t be carried back out to sea.“It might have to do with post-release mortality, which means this species in particular gets a little stressed out when it’s caught,” she said. “It fights really hard.”
“There is some fishing line in her gills and, from earlier pictures, there was a large hook in the side of her mouth, which indicates she was probably involved in fishing,” Medd said.
