Yes a shark was found on Long Beach New York, No it was not carnivorous it was only a Basking shark. Now this isn't surprising to since Basking sharks prefer colder waters and New York is really really cold so it makes sense. Now to the article, a group of surfers spotted the dying basking shark, it thrashing to get out in the ocean. So the shark was seen earlier before this all happened circling about 50 feet out but got too close to shallow water and got beached which is where I started, later they noticed that he WAS trying to get off the sand bank and that he had a large gash on his left side which is thought to be from colliding with a boat and in the photo it means that he was getting a lot of sand in that wound.
