I remember reading a story about someone catching a shark in the Mississippi River---at St. Louis!! It's Global Warming.
They are being driven out of the ocean by the near-boiling temperatures, into the rivers cooled by the melting glaciers....

I remember reading a story about someone catching a shark in the Mississippi River---at St. Louis!! One heck of a long way from the Gulf of Mexico, that.Pretty common for some types of sharks (notably the Bull Shark) to move several hundred miles up river in brackish water. Bulls are considered maneaters, too.

There are Fresh Water Sharks in Nicaragua. Some ichthyologist out there can correct me if I am wrong but I think this is a subspecies of a bull shark. While all bull sharks can survive quite well for long periods of time in fresh water, this particular type of bull shark has adapted to living full-time in fresh water.

"Pretty common for some types of sharks (notably the Bull Shark) to move several hundred miles up river in brackish water." Yes, but the Mississippi River ain't brackish--even at New Orleans. Muddy, yes ---- brackish, no. Evidently, this shark was "thinking outside the box".

My wife loves fishing for sharks!

"Tahseen Ali, a teacher, said there was a "75 percent chance" Americans had put the shark in the water." And there is a 100% chance that Tahseen Ali is a certifiable moron and/or liar.
Tell please me again why we are helping these IslamoVermin.
