Sharknado? Cyclone Debbie leaves behind shark in puddle

Locals in the north Queensland region of Burdekin, Australia, might have escaped the brunt of Cyclone Debbie. But one was not so lucky.

WIN News Townsville journalist Philip Calder described his shock at finding the “heavy” metre-and-a-half bull shark when he was out reporting in Ayr, a town of Burdekin, covering the local flooding after the devastating cyclone.

The shark was found dead on a road that has been cut off by flooding. A community nearby, Rita Island, has been cut off by the flood waters and Mr Calder was on his way to cover the story when he spotted the shark.

Pretty well known and established that bull sharks can and will survive and hunt in fresh/brackish waters. Many incidents throughout history of people being attacked in creeks, high waters on land and freshwater rivers many miles from the ocean.
