Bull sharks spotted swimming down flooded main streets in Oz
By ANIFriday, January 14, 2011
MELBOURNE - A couple of bull sharks have been spotted swimming down flooded main streets in Australia, 30km from the coast.
Butcher Steven Bateman spotted two swimming near his Goodna shop, and his sighting is just one of several reports of sharks in Goodna’s main street.
The Queensland Times had reported the shark sightings, and Ipswich local councillor Paul Tully had confirmed it was a bizarre but true story out of Queensland’s flood disaster.
“It would have swum several kilometres in from the river, across Evan Marginson Park and the motorway,” the Courier Mail quoted Tully as saying.
“It’s definitely a first for Goodna, to have a shark in the main street. I know Steve (Bateman) and he wouldn’t say he saw a shark unless he really saw one.
“It’s not like there have been polar bears or crocodiles spotted,” he added. (ANI)
