A dead shark has been discovered on the subway in New York City, transport officials have confirmed.
纽约地铁内发现一只死鲨鱼,交通官员已证实此消息属实。
The unlikely passenger, about 1.2m 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
supervisor1 disposed of the shark.
Pigeons and even an
opossum(负鼠) have made their way on to the trains before, but never a shark,
transit2 officials said.
However, where it came from
remains3 a mystery.
Isvett Verde, of Brooklyn, New York, who took a photo of the shark, said she noticed that the empty carriage of the N train "smelled extremely
fishy4" when she boarded at 8th Street.
"It's hard to be surprised as there are always crazy things happening in this city, but even that was a bit much," she told the BBC.
Other pictures of the exotic discovery have also gone viral, including one of the shark with a cigarette in its mouth next to a fare card and a can of energy drink.
