Shark found on New York subway

A dead shark has been discovered on the subway in New York City, transport officials have confirmed. The unlikely passenger, about 1.2m (4ft) long, was found under a row of seats on a Queens-bound train. The conductor asked passengers to leave the carriage and the train continued to the end of the line, where a supervisor disposed of the shark. Pigeons and even an opossum have made their way on to the trains before, but never a shark, transit officials said. However, where it came from remains a mystery.
