The descendants of the chipmunk sharks now terrorize my tomato garden…
Greedy, voracious little vermin.
But I’m ready for them this year, they don’t stand a chance…

LOL.

Notice the subtle heteronormative bias in the report, the assumption that this species of shark had only two genders. Heads may roll at the National Park Service in the next Democrat administration.

If the adults were three to four inches long, how big were the baby sharks?

In other paleo news, a dinosaur living fossil was discovered in San Francisco. It was named Pelosiraptor alcoholicus.

Wouldn’t that make it an OLD shark species, not a new shark species?

Last year they discovered a previously unknown mammoth species in Shark Cave. Okay, I'll stop now.

This was obviously a land shark since it was in Kentucky and the left routinely tells us that sea levels are currently at their highest ever levels.

Must be a descendent of the snow sharks that devoured our city’s asphalt last winter.
