Sharks… In The Hillsborough River?

Well ya learn something new every day. If you’re like me and just always assumed sharks only live in salt water, this story might mess you up a little.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – JULY 25: The teeth and jaw of a Great White Shark are displayed after research into the biological mechanics of the predator July 25, 2007 in Sydney, Australia. Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) including Dan Huber from the the University of Tampa, Florida in the USA, plan to remove muscles from the head of several sharks in order to create a digital shark, to help determine it’s bio mechanics and potential “bite force”.
