Jaws in real life...but in INDIANA!!??

[Spear Dane]

Soooo, a BULL SHARK was caught in Lake Tippecanoe.

That's the good news! The bad news...Indiana Fish and Wildlife determined it was a female...and it has probably given birth to 5ish babies.

And so now we have a July 4th weekend beach warning for the lake, because bull sharks prefer to feed in shallow water.

Wait. I call BS.

I do know that some sharks can survive in fresh water, but there's a whole lot of this that doesn't really add up.

"wild life officer Hugh Jorgan". Let that sink in for a minute. I call fake.

Feel free to take several minutes if need be. . . .


Just sayin'

Sounds fishy indeed, but I am pretty sure they have found bullsharks up by St. Louis.

Hugh Jorgan is a made up name...

But, no kidding, there's a newly-minted I.C.O. named Hunter Law.

Got taken. That does not happen often. I believed it because I know it's entirely plausable. Sharks have been found ridiculously far up stream of the ocean. Grrrr. Oh well.

Had to be a female because it was a "rouge" shark; presumably with rosy red cheeks.

 

[printcraft]

You've got to be bullsharkin me?!

 

[femurphy77]

Shark snark?

 

[pute62]

I'd heard it was spotted in Geist hanging around Cocktail Cove.

Back in the day there was a C.O. named Monte Beaver, Blackford Co. I think.

 

[SmileDocHill]

I'm calling Bull Shark.

Oh bullshark!

 

[mom45]

DNR actually posted on their FB page that this was from a fake news site and not true.

 

[Brad69]

Everyone knows Bull Sharks are not found north of the Ohio river.

This same story (except the first part was changed to a lake in Kentucky) with the same picture made rounds on FB sent to a friend that lives here but is from KY.

There was also a story 2 days ago about a pair of Great Whites in the Mississippi River by ST Louis. I call BS on that one too
