Land locked Lake Nicaragua has fresh water sharks. Apparently they were trapped there long ago when a large bay was cut off from the sea and gradually evolved to be able to survive in fresh water.

Thanks gleeaikin. I was trying to find that "mermaid" that was fished out of some lake in the Alps, and when examined generations later turned out to be a shark.
