Wildlife officials are trying to figure out exactly how a shark got into the swimming pool at a South Florida condo complex.

The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports that Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers responded to the Mariner's Cay condominium in Hypoluxo last week after a woman found a live five-foot blacktip shark in the pool.

The woman told officers she saw two young men running from the pool, which is located near the shoreline of the Intracoastal Waterway. The officers removed the shark from the pool and returned it to the ocean.

Blacktip sharks are among the most common species in coastal South Florida.

This should be reported as animal abuse, and the perp should be arrested.

The chlorine in the pool has most likely cut the lifespan of the shark in half, if it is even still alive.

Most of the pools in coastal Florida are filled with salt water that is pumped directly from the sea.

Did it have frickin lasers attached to its’ head.

For those who like an early morning dip in the pool to wake up in the morning, their adrenal gland is about to max out...

Interesting. I live on the coast of FL and I've never seen one.

Pools which are usually in hotels, motels, etc. I forgot to mention that.

Chlorine pools are a thing of the past. Almost everybody has gone or is going to salt water pools. Cheaper and less maintenance.

[BBell]

That would be a mutated ill-tempered sea bass.

[dfwgator]

Throw me a bone here.

[BBell]

Can you remind me what I pay you people for.

Were these condos owned by trump?
